It is William Shakespeare who wrote of the,' the quality of mercy', but what about the quality of wisdom, that other wisdom, that comes from God. This is a different type of wisdom from the earthly wisdom, William Barclay writes, 'Wisdom is not philosophic speculation, and intellectual knowledge.Wisdom is for life'.It is vital to the Christians well being.How do we acquire this wisdom?well we turn to James 1 v 7 ,which reads,'If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God,who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it shall be given him',he stresses that we should ask in faith not doubting .(v 8) Remember God's wisdom is very important,and we have a whole book to prove it ,Proverbs.Consider the qualities that this wisdom will bring to you,'purity,peace love,considerate,submissiveness,mercy,good fruits,impartiality ,sincerity and last but not least, being a peacemaker'. My, what wonderful qualities they are,and if we are to be the Christians we should be, these are the qualities we need, I know I do, what about you?.
