We have mentioned the worldly or earthly wisdom, that many exersise,and can lead to so much evil.now we will consider the wisdom that comes down from heaven.One could liken heavenly wisdom to the fruits of the Spirit,the first is described as being pure,perfect and holy,for as I said it comes from heaven, where everything is pure,perfect and holy.There is no deviousness in it,none whatsoever,it is not built on crooked thinking,or underhand dealings.Our Saviour manifested it in its fulness ,we His followers who have this ,will manifest Christ. Next we have peace -loving,William Barclay writes that it has a two fold meaning,a relationship of peace with man,and peace with God,how we need that,Christ the Prince of peace,made it possible we can have peace with God Romans 5 v1,Calvarys peace with God ,was purchased by Christs sacrificial death on the cross,By the Spirit's aid we can live at peace with man.There is so many things that are stirring people up in conflict with others,the list is endless.let us bear in mind that to be a peace maker is to be blessed. ( Matthew 5 v9 )
Dear God and Father,fill us by Thy Spirit,
that we will manifet purity and peacefulness,
in Jesus name . Amen
