Discerning

Many times when we encounter trauma in our lives, we get advice from all different areas. These pieces of advice may be very contradictory. So, how do we know what advice will help us through this time in our lives?  Seek wisdom.

“Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in meekness or wisdom. But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth. This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.”

James 3:13-18  NKJV
