Topic: kingdom of the wise.
James 3:13-14 KJV
Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. [14] But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.

Wisdom, the kingdom of the wise, who rules there?
Wisdom can be defined as the right application of knowledge, so knowledge precedes wisdom. One who will demonstrate wisdom must have desired proper knowledge at first, then apply it rightly. Wisdom can be seen mostly through our conversations. I once said, "the fools seem wise when they keep quiet" and "not every quiet person is wise". Wisdom requires ordering your words rightly, "James 3:2b KJV
... If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body."
The perfect man rules in the kingdom of the wise.
Do not mistake craftiness for wisdom; bitterness, strife and envying does not produce wisdom, it produces craftiness. "James 3:15-16 KJV
This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. [16] For where envying and strife is , there is confusion and every evil work."
The Lord gives wisdom to everyone who asks Him, "James 1:5 KJV
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him."
Wisdom is very vital, in life, and we all must desire it with all our heart.

Prayer: Lord I receive the spirit of wisdom in all my conversations and dispositions in Jesus' name.
Remain blessed
