Read the Passage

Sometimes, in our lives we want to be ahead of others, to better than other people. Sometimes, especially in work ans school, we do everything just to get ahead of others. Earthly wisdom as James said. According to him, there are two kinds of wisdom, one is earthly and the other is heavenly. Earthly wisdom is from our selfishness and envy. And most of the time this lead to disorder and evil practice. While heavenly wisdom is pure, considerate, peace-loving, full of mercy, and sincere.

As a college student, I've seen the evil practice of wisdom. Students love to compete for grades. And just so to get ahead of the competition, students would do everything they could. Some would cheat on exams. Some would ask for some leakage about the exam. Not just in school, in the businss world, in politics. It is a sad thing that God gave us intelligence and we are using it for evil practices. Such a sad thing that we are using our intelligence for our selfish ambitions.

If we lack wisdom, all we have to do is ask God. When ever we are in trials or in temptation, we just have to pray to God for wisdom. He is faithful, he will surely provide us with the wisdom that we ask him.
