| Wisdom from Above By Billy Graham “The wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable.” —James 3:17, NKJV Today there is more knowledge in the world than ever before. Computers or fiber optic cables can transmit information in a millisecond to any part of the globe. More facts have been discovered in the last one hundred years than all of the other centuries of human history combined. Yet that same time period also recorded the most devastating wars and the fiercest genocides in human history. We have never been further from solving our basic problems. The Bible says there are two kinds of wisdom in the world. First, there is wisdom that is given by God, a wisdom that views life in terms of eternity. Of this wisdom, the Scripture says, “The wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy” (James 3:17). The second is the “wisdom of the world.” This wisdom excludes God and His moral standards from human decisions, and seeks to solve society’s problems apart from Him. But where has it gotten us? Which kind of wisdom will you choose?  Hope for TodayThere are people who show great wisdom who don’t have a college degree; the opposite is also true. True wisdom comes from God. Let’s be certain that we are making decisions based on the right kind of wisdom. | ||
