JAM 3:17¹⁷But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. (James 3:17)

The wisdom that is from above is . . . easy to be entreated.

James 3:17¹⁷But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. (James 3:17)

Godly wisdom, available to all who ask God for it, has many beautiful characteristics. Here is one - it is easy to be entreated. In other words, if you have godly wisdom and someone comes to you with a complaint or a plea, you listen to what they have to say without cutting them off or refusing to listen to their point of view. Too often we are unwilling to listen to others, always thinking that we are right. Let’s ask the Lord for wisdom to be able to be easily entreated.
