Let’s ZOOM INTO Vs.13- 18 which is a contrast of two kinds of wisdom. What are the 2 sources of wisdom?
PRAYER PROMPT: “Lord Jesus, you said, ‘blessed are the peacemakers for they will be called the children of God.’ Change me to become a peacemaker everywhere I go; not a peace-breaker. As I enter a room, may peace be experienced by everyone I encounter. Allow my feet to be covered with the Gospel of peace, for I humbly pray, Amen.”
