Wisdom and Humility

The Third Sunday in Advent

Showing respect to the Lord will make you wise and being humble will bring honor to you. ~ Proverbs 15:33 (CEV)

Are any of you wise and understanding? Show that your actions are good with a humble lifestyle that comes from wisdom. ~ James 3:13 (CEB)
Lord, you give wisdom and humility to those willing to receive. Lord, I know what I want. Help me to live wisely and humbly. I'm not sure which comes first -- wisdom or humility. But I'm certain that they go together and that I can't have either on my own. I'm depending on you to develop them in me. Amen.
