Wisdom From Above
June 25, 2014

Read: 1 Samuel 24:1-10

The wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable. —James 3:17

Bible in a Year:
Job 3-4; Acts 7:44-60

If Kiera Wilmot had performed her experiment during her high school science class, it might have earned her an A. But instead she was charged with causing an explosion. Although she had planned to have her teacher approve the experiment, her classmates persuaded her to perform it outside the classroom. When she mixed chemicals inside a plastic bottle, it exploded and she unintentionally unsettled some fellow students.

The Old Testament tells the story of another case of peer pressure. David and his men were hiding from Saul in a cave when Saul entered (1 Sam. 24). David’s companions suggested that God had delivered Saul to them, and they urged David to kill him (vv.4,10). If David killed Saul, they thought they could stop hiding and David could become king. But David refused to harm Saul because he was “the Lord’s anointed” (v.6).

People in our lives may sometimes suggest we do what seems most gratifying or practical in the moment. But there is a difference between worldly and spiritual wisdom (1 Cor. 2:6-7). Wisdom from above “is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy” (James 3:17). When others are urging us to take a certain course of action, we can invite God to influence our response.

Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!
Hold o’er my being absolute sway!
Fill with Thy Spirit till all shall see
Christ only, always, living in me. —Pollard

One is truly wise who gains his wisdom from above.

Permission granted, Sir!

Welcome aboard!

Thanks, Rus, for our beautiful lesson from God’s Word!

His is the only wisdom worthy of following!

[The Mayor]

Amen!

You Are Quietly Passionate

You are a loner, and you're fine with that. You find the most fulfillment in solitude. And you never feel more lonely than when you're in a crowd.

You fall in love with ease and confidence. Even if you've had bad experiences in the past, each new love is a reason to start completely over.

You are a deep and contemplative person. You are as passionate as everyone else, but your passion is not always apparent.

Your sense of humor is very physical. Your facial expressions or spot on imitations of people are hilarious.

Good evening, Luv!

You Are Very Passionate

You like people, but you're careful about who you get close to. Friendship is important to you... so important that you aren't just friends with anyone.

You don't fall in love easily. It takes you a long time to get used to someone. Intimacy doesn't come easily for you.

You are a passionate person. You are free wheeling, fun loving, and ruled by your emotions.

Your sense of humor is sarcastic, snarky, and realistic. You're not exactly happy-go-lucky.

[luvie]

Hey there! I’ll bet you are! Just plunge in with both feet in anything you do!

Are ya back “home” yet?
