Wise

a WORD from God's Book

Do you want to be counted wise, to build a reputation for wisdom? Mean-spirited ambition isn't wisdom. Boasting that you are wise isn't wisdom. Twisting the truth to make yourselves sound wise isn't wisdom…Here's what you do: Live well, live wisely, live humbly. It's the way you live, not the way you talk, that counts.

Don't fool yourself. Don't think that you can be wise merely by being up-to-date with the times. Be God's fool—that's the path to true wisdom. What the world calls smart, God calls stupid.

I kept thinking, 'Experience will tell. The longer you live, the wiser you become.' But I see I was wrong—it's God's Spirit in a person, the breath of the Almighty One, that makes wise human insight possible.

Good people see this and are glad; bad people are speechless, stopped in their tracks. If you are really wise, you'll think this over— it's time you appreciated God's deep love.

Oh, how I love all you've revealed … I've become wiser than the wise old sages simply by doing what you tell me. I watch my step, avoiding the ditches and ruts of evil so I can spend all my time keeping your Word.

The wise counsel God gives when I'm awake is confirmed by my sleeping heart. Day and night I'll stick with God; I've got a good thing going and I'm not letting go.

James 3:13 1 Corinthians 3:18 Job 32:6 Psalm 107:42 Psalm 119:97 Psalm 16:7

Be wise – believe His Word – do the right thing!

LIFEgroups – together experiencing God!
