Summary: James 3:13-18
We are prone to operate according to what we feel is best, but in our passage this week, we see a different way: God’s wisdom shows us the way to love others and reflect Christ.

What does this say about God?
God is the true source of wisdom! He is the Creator who guides us to wisely walk through this life. His way does not come naturally to us, but it is what we most need.
