Would you even consider biting into a piece of rotten fruit?  I don’t think so.  Only those who are truly hungry and are starving would do such a thing.

  Yet, how often do your actions produce rottenness?  Man’s wisdom does that, God’s wisdom produces only “good fruit”.

  How can your life produce that Godly wisdom which yields “good fruit”?

  Reading God’s word as if He were standing or sitting there with you at that moment (and He is, actually).

  Thinking about what God is saying and then using it in your actions and your words.

  Whenever anyone uses the wisdom of man – rotten fruit is produced…it sure doesn’t take much thought to do that! (Think about some of the rotten fruit that is produced by man’s wisdom: bitter jealousy, selfish ambition and lying against the truth all lead to disorder and evil practices. (See James 3:14, 16)

  Think about “good fruit” as products of God’s wisdom…how can your life, this day…yield “good fruit” which comes down from heaven?

  Our actions, motives, words and our goals reveal where our thoughts are centered.

  We must be faithful to read God’s words in order to be fruitful.

  For a life to be changed…it must start with you.  Your life will not produce “good fruit” if you don’t nurture it with God’s word. 

~Godly wisdom produces good fruit~
