The Power of Wisdom: Choosing Between Worldly and Godly Perspectives

This reflection explores the contrast between worldly and godly wisdom, as presented in James 3:1-18 and Proverbs 15:1-2. A gentle answer can diffuse anger, while harsh words escalate conflict. Wise individuals embellish knowledge, while fools speak mindlessly. Worldly wisdom is rooted in selfish ambition and envy, while godly wisdom is characterized by good deeds, humility, peace, and mercy. Ultimately, it challenges us to examine our focus: are we driven by self-interest or guided by a desire to build God's kingdom?
