The Gentleness of Wisdom

Jul30

Who among you is wise and understanding? Let him show by his good behavior his deeds in the gentleness of wisdom.
James 3:13 NASB1995

Gentleness of wisdom is humbleness in serving, teaching, mentoring, living – in all we do. We are not to boast of the wisdom we have because wisdom is from God Himself.

For the Lord gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding.
Proverbs 2:6 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/pro.2.6.NASB1995

🌹But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
James 1:5 NASB1995

A Gentle Heart

May20

. . . as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of gentleness
Colossians 3:12 NASB1995

Gentleness is a rare commodity in the world today. It is often associated with weakness, being a ‘sissy’, but in reality it is harder to be seen as gentle than to pretend to be tough. Could a gentle spirit be more transforming?

What do you desire? Shall I come to you with a rod, or with love and a spirit of gentleness?
1 Corinthians 4:21 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/1co.4.21.NASB1995

Gentleness is another fruit of the Spirit of God. One who is caught in a transgression, who could easily be one of us, can be restored with humility and gentleness. Showing tolerance with gentle correction to another, in love, could lead to God granting them repentance leading to the knowledge of the truth.
Galatians 5:23/Galatians 6:1/Ephesians 4:2/2 Timothy 2:25 NASB1995

Who among you is wise and understanding? Let him show by his good behavior his deeds in the gentleness of wisdom.
James 3:13 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jas.3.13.NASB1995

🌹Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near.
Philippians 4:5 NASB1995

Be Holy

Jan15

Therefore, prepare your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance,

but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior; because it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.”
1 Peter‬ ‭1:13‭-‬16‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/1pe.1.13.NASB1995

How can I be holy? Only by the living, holy and perfecting power of Christ in me.

‭‭Therefore, having these promises (the Word of God), beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
2 Corinthians‬ ‭7:1‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/2co.7.1.NASB1995

‭‭🌹There is no one holy like the Lord, Indeed, there is no one besides You, Nor is there any rock like our God.
1 Samuel‬ ‭2:2‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
