James 3:13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom.

If we profess to be wise and to be able to understand what God would want in our lives then we need to show others – but how we go about that will define how others see us.

If we shout it out to others in a brash, spiteful or prideful manner, then we may well find that we turn people against God rather than toward the truth!

God calls us to show others His gospel in meekness of wisdom; that means giving God the glory for His wisdom and not boasting of what we can teach. It is God’s wisdom, not ours!
