“Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.” – James 3:13
Rabbi Jeffrey Salkin is an author and serves as the senior rabbi of Temple Solel in Hollywood, Florida. He describes one of the funniest things that happened to him in his synagogue. “I was teaching our Torah study class. We had been studying the prophets, and we came to a famous passage from the prophet, Micah [6:8].
“He has told you, O man, what is good, And what does the LORD require of you?….”
As I was reading that verse, someone in our study group accidentally pushed the button on his or her iPhone.
At the precise moment that I read: “…and what does the LORD require of you?” – Siri responded:
“I cannot give you an answer to that question!”
Do you want to gain wisdom? Then follow Jesus and let your life be flowing with good deeds that glorify Him. Today in prayer, praise the Lord that He is our ultimate example. Seek to follow Him closely so you may bring glory to Him.
“Not until we have become humble and teachable, standing in awe of God's holiness and sovereignty... acknowledging our own littleness, distrusting our own thoughts, and willing to have our minds turned upside down, can divine wisdom become ours.” – J.I. Packer
God’s Word: “In everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness” – Titus 2:7
