No Grandstanding

Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. James 3:13 NIV

In reading this verse I guess it may be safe to say we aren't seeing many people who are wise and understanding. Not many people are acting with humility. Too many people are acting like victims rather than conquerors through God. Too many people are shouting at others and blaming them rather than praying and asking for them to be forgiven. Too many people are forcing their beliefs on others claiming intolerance if you don't think like they do rather than living as Jesus  lived and accept others for who they are.

I don't have the answers but praise God I believe in the one who does. I don't have all this under control but praise God I serve the one who does. If there is to be peace we must learn to love others as God does, live in humility and show our wisdom through our actions. There is none righteous...not one, save Jesus alone. We must look to him.

Let's be wise and understanding in our ways rather than grandstanding.
