Two Types of Wisdoms!

From The Heart of Pastor Shane (April 17, 2019)

In the Book of James, we see that there are two types of wisdom the Bible speaks of.  In James 3:15 the Bible says that there is a wisdom that “descends not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.”  Then it speaks of a wisdom in verse 17 “that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.”

Most of the things we see happening in this world are contrary from the wisdom that is discussed from above.  There is a human wisdom that has the priorities of this world attached to it.  Then, there is a wisdom that is heavenly and has God in mind.  In other words, there is a wisdom of mankind and a wisdom of God.  In 1 Corinthians 1:25 the Bible says: “…the foolishness of God is wiser than men…”

Where does your wisdom come from?  James is reminding us that we ought to know where our wisdom derives from.  One is s true wisdom and the other is a wisdom that is not wise at all.  Remember that God is the wisdom from above, and through faith in Him, we can live wisely in a foolish world.  Amen!
