Bible Verse
“But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.”
— James 3:17 (KJV)
Ellen G. White Quote
“He who lives in communion with God is surrounded with a holy atmosphere. The truth is in his heart, and wisdom guides his steps.”
— Testimonies for the Church, Vol. 4, p. 615
Reflection
There is a kind of wisdom that impresses the world clever, quick, and sometimes proud. But God offers something better: wisdom that is pure, peaceful, and humble. It is not only knowledge, but insight shaped by love and guided by the Spirit.
Ellen White reminds us that those who live close to God carry a quiet, holy atmosphere with them. Their decisions are not rushed or self-seeking, but marked by mercy and sincerity.
This heavenly wisdom shows itself in how we speak, how we respond to others, and how we handle both success and failure. It is a gift, and it grows with prayer, study, and communion with God.
Let This Be Your Prayer Today
“Lord, grant me the wisdom that comes from You alone. Help me to live in a way that is peaceful, sincere, and full of mercy. Let Your Spirit guide my thoughts and choices today.”
Amen.
