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.”
We all have a hard time making sense of life. We are often overwhelmed by discouraging situations and we despair about difficulties and hardships. Let’s be honest we even doubt that God will give us what we need to rise above these circumstances. The outcome of this doubt is that we do not bring these “hard places” to God, and seek his help and direction in them.
In life, our experiences can leave us wondering what is the best, or the wisest choice or decision to make. God promises to provide us with wisdom in those moments, freely and abundantly because he is a generous God. He “gives generously to all without finding fault.”
Belief and faith go hand in hand, and trusting in God's wisdom requires a deep openness to His guidance. It’s reassuring to know that when we seek wisdom, we’re not searching blindly, we are asking from the One who has revealed Himself as trustworthy and generous. The act of asking itself is an expression of faith, recognizing that wisdom is not something we gain entirely on our own but something given by God to those who trust in Him.
Can you think of a situation or choice where you need wisdom right now? Ask God for help and direction.
PRAYER
