LET THERE BE PEACE ON EARTH...IT'S WISE AND BLESSED...

I often hear other christians say, "I wish I had more wisdom." God is clear in how we get it. He tells us in James,

"If any of you lacks wisdom,

you should ask God,

who gives generously to all without finding fault,

and it will be given to you.

6 But when you ask,

you must believe and not doubt,

because the one who doubts

is like a wave of the sea,

blown and tossed by the wind. "

Our scripture memory for this month is short. This week? Short and sweet!

James 3:17a

"But the wisdom that comes from heaven

is first of all pure;

then peace-loving,

considerate,

submissive,

full of mercy ..."

Interesting! We're learning that a person is BLESSED when their lives exemplify Christ's Be-attitudes. It seems the verses above are telling us that at least 3 of the Be-attitudes can be prayed for because they are a part of wisdom!
.

BE-ATTITUDES 5, 6, AND 7:

Blessed are the merciful,for they will be shown mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart,for they will see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers,for they will be called children of God.
