Intelligence without God-sense (AKA wisdom) is foolishness.
James 3:17-18 (MSG)
Real wisdom, God’s wisdom, begins with a holy life and is characterized by getting along with others. It is gentle and reasonable, overflowing with mercy and blessings, not hot one day and cold the next, not two-faced. You can develop a healthy, robust community that lives right with God and enjoy its results only if you do the hard work of getting along with each other, treating each other with dignity and honor.
Real intelligence, down-to-earth intelligence, comes from God.
Good morning, Lord. grant me the wisdom to love You, love myself and love others. Show me how to live “in favor with God and man” (Proverbs 3:4), with the right attitude toward both You and those around me. Keep me humble and honest, merciful and genuine. As I walk through my day, let me leave a trail of blessings.
