Ask for Wisdom



This statue of Einstein is in Washington, DC.  Einstein is considered to have been a genius.  His greatest regret, however, was signing a letter to President Roosevelt urging that the atomic bomb be built.  Intelligence and wisdom are not always one and the same.

"The wisdom that comes from heaven" is "pure, peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy, good fruit, impartial, sincere."  One of the dictionary definitions of wisdom is "good judgment."  It's taking knowledge God has imparted (pure) and applying it (submissive) in a way that all the other attributes the James 3:17 verse lists come to bear (peace-loving, considerate, full of mercy, good fruit, impartial, sincere).  If, when we praying we only ask for wisdom, it would seem we are in the right place to be instruments of God.
