Welcome to our service today. It is great to have you here and we would love to invite you to stay after the service and join us for morning tea.
Scripture tells us that true wisdom is not loud, hurried, or self-seeking. James 3:17 beautifully describes it: “The wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.” God’s wisdom carries a purity that reflects His own holy nature. It is unmixed with pride, manipulation, or selfish ambition.
Pure wisdom begins with a heart aligned to God. When we seek Him above all else, our thoughts are made clear and our motives refined. This purity leads naturally to peace. Unlike worldly wisdom which often breeds competition and conflict, God’s wisdom calms our spirits and brings peace into our relationships. It teaches us when to speak, when to listen, and when to wait.
Peaceful wisdom does not mean the absence of difficulty, but the presence of trust. It anchors us in the assurance that God is at work, even when circumstances feel uncertain. As we choose to walk in His wisdom, we become peacemakers – reflecting Christ in a chaotic world.
Today, let us ask God for wisdom that is pure in heart and gentle in action, trusting that His wisdom will always lead us into peace.
With love & blessings,
Sandra
