character qualities

 

 

 

 

Together each week, let’s focus on character qualities.  You can reconnect here each morning to remind yourself of the particular quality we’re focusing on for the week.  Try to apply it to your daily life at home, at work, and wherever else life takes you.  Perhaps you can discuss the qualities with your family over breakfast and then reconvene during supper to discuss how you applied it to specific situations throughout the day.  Don’t leave out the little ones!  The sooner you work with them on their character the better!  We want to bless their young lives.  Having strong character qualities established in them while they’re young can protect them from hardships and heartache in the future.

       Wisdom vs. Natural Inclinations   

Seeing & responding to life situations from God’s frame of reference.

Definition of wisdom:

• the quality of having experience, knowledge, and good judgment; the quality of being wise 
• the soundness of an action or decision with regard to the application of such experience, knowledge, and good judgment

 

 

Scripture regarding wisdom:

 

Proverbs 9:10
Wisdom begins with fear and respect for the Lord. Knowledge of the Holy One leads to understanding.

 

Proverbs 10:23
Fools enjoy doing wrong, but the wise enjoy wisdom.

 

Ephesians 5:15-17
So be very careful how you live. Live wisely, not like fools.  I mean that you should use every opportunity you have for doing good, because these are evil times.  So don’t be foolish with your lives, but learn what the Lord wants you to do.

 

James 3:17
But the wisdom that comes from God is like this: First, it is pure. It is also peaceful, gentle, and easy to please. This wisdom is always ready to help people who have trouble and to do good for others. This wisdom is always fair and honest.

 

Ecclesiastes 8:1
Only the wise know what things really mean. Wisdom makes them smile and makes their frowns disappear.

 

Proverbs 17:27-28
Whoever restrains his words has knowledge,  and he who has a cool spirit is a man of understanding. Even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise; when he closes his lips, he is deemed intelligent.
