In today’s 5-Minute Daily Devotional, we reflect on James 3:16–17, where James contrasts the wisdom of the world with the wisdom that comes from God. Earthly wisdom, driven by envy and selfish ambition, leads to disorder and destruction.

But heavenly wisdom, given by the Lord, is pure, peace-loving, merciful, and sincere — producing peace and righteousness. 📖 Scripture: James 3:16–17 “For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice. But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.” (NIV) 💗 Support this ministry: 👕 Shop Faith-Based Apparel & Gifts: 🎙 More from DQ Clarke:
