DISCIPLINE

Wisdom is listening to what Jesus says and then doing it. In this teaching, Jesus tells his followers that a wise man builds his house on the rock or a strong foundation. There are many places in the Bible where Jesus is called this rock, the foundation of our faith. When we walk in relationship with Jesus he will guide us in knowledge and understanding to build our lives on the strong foundation of his wisdom. Let's always listen to Jesus and those he has put as trusted leaders in our lives. When we follow Jesus and his ways, we walk in wisdom and point others to his truth.

James listed characters of wisdom that can be obtained if we draw near to God. The Holy Spirit will impart in us these good qualities because we are not able to produce them on our own.
