DON'T DESIRE EARTHLY, UNSPIRITUAL, DEMONIC WISDOM
James 3:14-16
But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. Such “wisdom” does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. For where you have envy and selfish ambition,there you find disorder and every evil practice.

REFLECTION:

1. "Bitter envy and selfish ambition" are inspired by the devil. It is easy for us to be drawn into wrong desires by by the pressures of society and sometimes by well-meaning Christians.

2. By listening to the advice: "Assert yourself", "Go for it", "Set High Goals", we can be drawn into greed and destructive competitiveness.

3. Seeking God's wisdom delivers us from the the need to compare ourselves to others and to want what they have.

Blessed Saturday.
