Choosing God, choosing wisdom
James 3.13-4.3,7-8aJames outlines the qualities of a wise person, which come from above, while the qualities of the world (envy, selfish ambition) cause disorder and conflict in the Church and beyond. The solution is to submit to God.
This week we are challenged to check the choices we make about how we live, that they may result in good fruit being seen in our lives. Jesus used a child to compare greatness and humility: even we, with wisdom, can sow a harvest of righteousness and draw near to God.
