James 3:13 Amplified chimes in, “Who is there among you who is wise and intelligent? Then let him by his noble living show forth his (good) works with the unobtrusive) humility (which is the proper attribute) of true wisdom.” 

Noble living is living in God’s wisdom. It is seeing life through God’s perspective instead of our own. How we perceive things is rooted in our belief system created from our life’s experiences. Our beliefs come from our experiences. Our experiences influence our intentions. Our intentions precede our thoughts. Our thoughts become actions that are displayed through attitudes. 

1 Chronicles 28:9 Amplified were David’s words to his son Solomon. It says, “…For the Lord searches all hearts and minds and understands all the wanderings of the thoughts…” Hebrews 4:12 Amplified says that God’s word penetrates to the deepest parts of our nature. “…exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very  thoughts and purposes of the heart.”
