Divine Wisdom (Gentle)

Over the past few weeks, I have been posting about the attributes of divine wisdom as written in James 3 vs. 17.

“The wisdom from above is... gentle...”

Gentleness is not only packaged with wisdom, it is also a fruit of the spirit (Galatians 5 vs. 22). This tells us that as Spirit filled Christians, we have to be gentle.
Being gentle should not be associated with being slow or sloppy. To be gentle is to be careful, show kindness and pay attention to detail.

Ladies have a way of coining that phrase “he’s so gentle”... but I will be surprised if they are referring to Jesus.
Jesus said about Himself “..... I am gentle and humble in heart....” (Matthew 11:29)
The bible bears witness to a wisdom filled Jesus express gentleness as never experienced before.
On the night of Jesus’ arrest, after he had been betrayed by one of his disciples, and another disciple tried defending Him by cutting off the High Priest’s servants ear.
In the midst of the chaos, Jesus said “...No more of this” and he touched the servants ear and healed him.

We also have been anointed of the Holy One, we have the Spirit of God on the inside, and therefore we are gentle.
It does not matter what people have said about your character, tell yourself that was in the past. If you are born again you have the Spirit of God on the inside.... that means you are gentle on the inside and it high time you start expressing that gentleness on the outside.

Remember Divine Wisdom is gentle, if you can’t find gentleness in that solution... Please have a good look again... it might not be Divine.

“...Wisdom puts light in the eyes, And gives gentleness to words and manners...”
(Ecclesiastes 8:1) (The Message)
