Day 94
James 3:13 NIV
"Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in humility that comes from wisdom. "
As we examine ourselves to see how much wisdom we are walking in, it is good to remember that wisdom and humility are inseparable. It is totally unwise to walk in pride. It is possible to begin operating in godly wisdom and slip into earthly wisdom, when we begin to experience positive results. We can be so mindful of our need for God's help before we see success. Then as things start to go well, we can begin to lean on our own understanding. So, walking in the wisdom from above is not a one-time decision that permanently determines our state of affairs. A quality decision to walk in true wisdom is important. However, we must constantly monitor our behavior and motives to stay on the right road.
We should review our course every day and, if necessary, repent from walking in devilish or sensual wisdom. No effort needs to be made to flow with the spirit of the world, because it permeates the air around us. If we are going to walk in the spirit, we must make a conscientious effort to do so. We must depend on God, not our own strength, as we press toward our goal.
I walk in humility daily, as I continue to operate in godly wisdom. With God's help, I will remain on the right path.
