Verse of the Day (January 23, 2020) #BMSeminary – [wisdom] Gives people the capacity to understand the world in light of God’s Word and purposes; believers need it to rejoice in trials. Wisdom is an important theme in James: although mentioned explicitly elsewhere only in 3:13-18, it is tied into some of James’s other themes (e.g., the tongue), and wisdom writings influence James’s style. [generously] Or “single-mindedly,” in the sense that God’s single, undivided intent is to give us those gifts we need to please him. Such “single-mindedness” is a fundamental theme in James (v. 8; 4:4-10). (Zondervan Study Bible)
