"But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness." -- James 3:17-18

Peace is the mark of heavenly wisdom.  When we itch to raise our battle cries, we should give pause and consider the way God would have us go.  For the words describing his peace are pure, peace-loving, considerate, etc.  Think about the passage above in terms of each word and what it represents.  Would it be a description of you?  Do you have wisdom?
