ASK and IT WILL BE GIVEN

James 1:5

If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.

I Will Give You Wisdom

 

God promises to give us the wisdom we need for understanding everything we need to know to meet our challenges or make the right choices. Our passage today tells us that God gives “wisdom” generously to all who come Him and acknowledge their lack of knowledge and understanding. 

Let us be honest, we all have a hard time making sense of life. Don’t you experience discouragement, at times, despair in your living? 

Many of us, I include myself in the us, when trials and difficult seasons come to us, we grumble and doubt God’s ability in those moments. This passage gets me to thinking that perhaps we miss an important step, that step is asking God for wisdom to help us make sense of the rough places. God is saying to us if you lack wisdom ask me for it.

I want you to remember that throughout the Bible, we witness that God pours out His wisdom, and it is always more than enough to meet peoples needs. If God did this in the lives of those people in the bible, God will pour wisdom into our lives too.

REFLECT

Do you remember asking God for wisdom for a situation in the past? How did it turn out?

Can you think of a situation or choice where you need wisdom right now? Ask God for help.
