“The Wisdom From Above Is…” How to Know if It’s Really From God | James 3:13-18

Hey Sis 💛

Have you ever received advice that sounded good, made sense, and even felt right in the moment—only to realize later that it probably wasn’t wisdom from God?

Today we’re studying James 3:13–18 and learning how to recognize the difference between godly wisdom and worldly wisdom.

James gives us a powerful way to discern the wisdom we’re following: look at the fruit it produces.

Worldly wisdom can be rooted in jealousy, selfish ambition, confusion, and disorder. But wisdom from God looks completely different. Scripture tells us that godly wisdom is pure, peace-loving, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good deeds, without favoritism, and always sincere.

And Sis, this gives us an important question to carry with us:

What kind of fruit is the wisdom I’m following producing?

Is it leading toward peace, humility, mercy, sincerity, and righteousness?

Or is it producing jealousy, selfish ambition, confusion, and disorder?

We’ll also talk about why knowing God’s Word helps strengthen our discernment so we can recognize when something sounds wise but doesn’t actually line up with His truth.

Grab your Bible, grab your journal, and let’s study together. 💛
