Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, be deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.
PARAPHRASE
You should have wise and understanding people among you. You will know they are wise and understanding because you will easily be able to see it in their life, which is good because of what they've done, already complete. But most importantly they will never boast in saying "my deeds", they will forever be humble in themselves and humble because they know it is the Lord's doing, not their own.
EMPHASIS
You- when I emphasized this, I thought of the fact that I should be surrounding myself with wise and understanding people.
show- do not hide the good, let it shine, shoe it off, not through boasting but it should be shown.
good- you will now because it is good, acceptable, joyful, morally good.
done- not intentions not soon to do but already done and completed.
humility- I don't know or understand this word- modest or low view of ones own importance.
comes- pours out from, alongside
wisdom- sSOlomon, proverbs has whole chapters about wisdom
APPLY
Sometime shwen I do soemthing food or something that was successful, I want people to recognize it an say thank you for good job. I know I'm like this because when they don't recognize me, I get all, why don't they remember me and my hard work?
PRAYER
Lord, may my life be deemed good by you. May I not feel ashamed or apprehensive about the good that you have done. In all thing keep me humble. Please don't tempt me or allow me to be tempted to put myself and allow myself to be put on a pedestal. May everything good that come from me, be only for your glory.
