Gentle Wisdom

Scripture)
Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom.
-James 3:13

Observation)
Gentleness; something commonly seen as weakness to this world is the very way that a believer is to live out wisdom. Instead of pursuing accolades gentleness re-routes our path back into the heart of God (for it is the fear of The Lord that is the beginning of wisdom) and in His wisdom He teaches us true gentleness, as it is very much part of His character.

Application)
Recognition has always been shoved down my throat in the industry of media (sometimes even within church settings). Self promotion, ambition, POWER. But as a believer I live in a new reality of grace, driven by healers, the gentle, compassionate, and humble. This is the true power I hold to; the passion and love of Christ, who through the wisdom of God laid His life down for others…in gentleness. So I am to do the same, leave the temporal lust for power and embrace living in death through a humble heart, that others might find and latch on to the wisdom of God.

Prayer)
Lord help my mind grasp your gentleness and see not in weakness but in strength; the power of your gentleness and true wisdom found in your arms.
Amen
