Every single decision we make in life will either be a good one or a bad one. The determining factor? The Wisdom of God. There are two kinds of wisdom that people can seek after: earthly wisdom, and wisdom from God. We know this because there are those among us who have incredible insight into problems which have plagued humanity for centuries, as well as those who have deep spiritual insight into the things of God. But we also know this because the Bible tells us the difference between these two kinds of wisdom: Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom. But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth. This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice. But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere. And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace. (James‬ ‭3‬ ‭13‬-‭18‬) ‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬ Earthly wisdom comes from humans, shaped by fallen desires and the world's values. When we make decisions in our lives based on this wisdom, the unfavorable results can sometimes last for years. It may look intelligent or persuasive, but its source is not God. Godly wisdom comes from above, meaning it originates with God, not human effort. This wisdom reflects God's character and aligns with His will, rather than human ambition. Earthly wisdom asks: What benefits me? Godly wisdom asks: What honors God and loves others? When a person seeks and gains God's wisdom, they have the ability to see life from God's perspective and viewpoint.
