Wisdom

May 26, 2005

Wisdom is not primarily knowing the truth, although it certainly includes that; it is skill in living.
Eugene Peterson in The Message

Skill in living. That’s deep. Who do I know that’s skilled in living? What does being skilled in living look like? And the real kicker, Am I skilled in living?

If you are wise and understand God’s ways, live a life of steady goodness so that only good deeds will pour forth.
James 3:13, NLT

Live a life of steady goodness so that only good deeds pour forth. Steady goodness? Only good deeds? Alright, clearly I have not mastered skill in living.

I can know the right thing but if I don’t actually do it, I haven’t practiced wisdom at all. Wisdom is not in the knowing but in the doing.
