Wisdom

Wisdom From Above

"The wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield."
James 3:17

Reflection

You can recognize God’s wisdom by its smell: it brings peace along. If an idea starts a fight, it probably is not His.

Prayer

Lord, give me the wisdom that comes from You. Amen!

Talk about it as a family
