Wisdom From Above

James has it right.  From Chapter 3:

Wisdom from Above

¹³ Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom. ¹⁴ But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth. ¹⁵ This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. ¹⁶ For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice. ¹⁷ But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere. ¹⁸ And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

Love that symmetry.  Perhaps it was because I mentioned yesterday to a friend there was something about the number 2013 that I didn't like.

A reminder that all of God's creation is beautiful.

Psalm 113

But overhearing what they said, Jesus said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not fear, only believe.”
