POST #35: JESUS' SERMON ON THE MOUNT: Blessed are the Peacemakers: Pray for this wisdom!

Yesterday, Steve finished up 2 sermon series, that I'd like to refer to a few times this week!
.  
Yesterday mornings' strong message finished up our year's theme from 2 Peter and was entitled:  WHAT MATTERS MOST (which I'd like to connect with later in the week).  Yesterday evenings' lesson wrapped up our study on the book of James.  
.
I often hear other christians say, "I wish I had more wisdom." GOD is clear as to how we get wisdom; HE tells us in the book of James,

"If any of you lacks wisdom

you should ask of GOD 

who gives generously to all without finding fault,

and it will be given to you."

 But when you ask,

you must believe and not doubt,

because the one who doubts

is like a wave of the sea,

blown and tossed by the wind. "

.

I had an "Aha! Moment" when I remembered that James (the brother of JESUS) also includes the "Be-attitudes" when he writes about wisdom.  In this passage, he connects to 

4 of the "Be-attitudes":

.

James 3:17-18

"But the wisdom that comes from heaven

is first of all pure (#6);

then peace-loving (#7),

considerate,

submissive (#1),

full of mercy (#5)
and good fruit,
impartial and sincere.
Peacemakers (#7)who sow in peace
reap a harvest of rightousness."

 .

.

Did you see it?  In this order:

.

"Be-attitude #6:  

"Blessed are the pure in heart, 

for they will see God."

.

Be-attitude #7:

"Blessed are the peacemakers,

for they will be called children of God."

.

Be-attitude #1:

"Blessed are the poor in spirit,

for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven."

.

Be-attitude #5

"Blessed are the merciful, 

for they will be shown mercy."

.

.

As I consider the 7th "Be-attitude"over the next few days,  

"Blessed are the peacemakers...", I can't help but make a few connections:

1. What does this "peacemaking" look like?
2. How does the PRINCE OF PEACE model being a peacemaker?
3. What would happen if every christian prayed for wisdom everyday?  Would it result in "peace on earth"?

Oh, the JOY!
