James reminds us today that where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice. Sure enough, all the envy and selfish ambition leads folk to lives that are filled with chaos and sinful choices.
Instead, James counsels us today to find true wisdom in that one simple concept: Humility.
This kind of wisdom comes from heaven and is inspired by our gracious God in heaven. It is wisdom motivated by a Saviour who humbled himself to live and die for us. It is wisdom that leads us to be humble before others and serve them in love. It is wisdom
Heavenly Father, help me to live a quiet life of humility and love. Keep me from the temptations of desiring the lifestyles of the rich and famous. Help me to continually see that only in your love and grace will I find true happiness and peace. I humbly pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen.
