21 Days To Connect: Anchoring Your College LifeSample

James tells us that the wise will be revealed by their gentle and good conduct. The wise don’t have to tell others they are wise. We know who they are by the way they live their lives. The list of the characteristics of Godly wisdom in today’s scripture can appear daunting at first, but remember it’s not up to us to produce the results alone. We have the Holy Spirit to help us live out the wisdom that we find in God’s Word. This list is similar to the fruit of the Spirit found in Galatians 5. The more we allow the Spirit to live through us the more we will walk in the ways of wisdom.

“Father, I want to be known as a person of peace. I want my life to be a reflection of your Spirit living inside of me. Let my good conduct demonstrate your work in me and show my campus that you are alive and working in the world today. Protect me from envy and selfish ambition. Help me seek YOUR kingdom today and not my own!”
