Content
James is still addressing those who would be teachers. Here he is not concern with what they say but with how they live. “Who is wise and understanding,” is talking about one who is an expert, who has special knowledge or training. Therefore, anyone who would be a teacher or anyone who claims to be an expert with special knowledge is under obligation to show this wisdom and understanding with good deed. Doing good deeds to people is God’s expectation for all Christians. Reason a wise and understanding person should apply this truth of God’s word to practical daily living. When such application is done, then it is a sign of humility. These good deeds are deliberate actions done that show that the strength of the person doing them is under control. Depend on God to humble you for good deeds.
Reflection
This passage reminds us that true wisdom and understanding are not just about what we know or say, but about how we live and treat others. Those who claim knowledge, especially teachers, are called to demonstrate their faith through good deeds, showing humility and self-control. Applying God’s Word in practical ways—helping, serving, and showing kindness—is a sign that our strength and abilities are guided by God, not by pride. True wisdom is reflected in actions, and we should depend on God to shape our hearts so that our deeds honor Him and bless others.
Prayer
Ask God for grace to do good deeds in humility.
