“Boasting that you are wise isn’t wisdom” James 3:14 (The Message)There is a difference between simply saying that you are wise, and being wise, just as there is a difference between claiming something is true, and its being true. At times we may confuse or intimidate others into believing as we would have them believe. We may very well convince the whole world that we are wise. But the truth is what it is, independent of what we say, and we are what we are, regardless how we may seek to define ourselves. In the end, God holds us to the truth. There is no deceiving God. He sees us as we are and it is his judgment alone which matters. We are only what we are before God. He defines us.
