The Tree - Choosing Your Source of Wisdom
Reading: Genesis 2:9, James 3:13-18
Devotional: From the beginning, humanity has faced a choice between two sources of wisdom—God's divine understanding and the world's corrupted knowledge. The tree of knowledge of good and evil wasn't merely about awareness; it represented a complete system of understanding apart from God. Today, we face similar choices. Every decision we make flows from either godly wisdom characterized by peace, mercy, and purity, or earthly wisdom marked by selfish ambition and jealousy. Before making your next major decision, pause and ask: "Am I seeking God's wisdom through prayer and His Word, or am I depending on worldly understanding?" The difference determines not just outcomes, but eternal destinies. Choose wisely—your source of wisdom reveals whose kingdom you serve.
