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

JAMES 1:5-8
“If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
”‭‭James‬ ‭1:5-8‬ ‭NKJV‬

Wisdom is not just knowledge, but the ability to use it to make good long-term decisions in the most difficult of circumstances.
When we need wisdom it is wise to ask of God who gives it all liberally and without reproach, “Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.”
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭1:25‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Furthermore, while we see just part of the picture, God sees the whole picture, His wisdom will bring a long-term resolve to you situation.
The wisdom we need is practical, and relates to life in the most testing times. It is a wisdom that is not isolated from from trials, challenges, and suffering. However, God’s wisdom is a tool by which our trials and challenges are overcome.
God’s wisdom is Devine and goes beyond common sense. Unlike common sense, God’s wisdom calls us to choose joy, even in the most difficult circumstance because joy in the Lord is our strength (NEHEMIAH 8:10).
“Do not correct a scoffer, lest he hate you; Rebuke a wise man, and he will love you. Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser; Teach a just man, and he will increase in learning. “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭9:8-10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
But if God’s wisdom is to help us, we must believe not only in His existence, but also in His loving care, His superiority, and abilities to make us victorious in all circumstances.
Divided loyalty will leave you unsettled as the stormy seas. It comes down to your choices; it’s God’s way or your way. Going to and fro from God’s way to your own way will take you up and down like a yo-yo, like you have fallen into those stormy seas and you are being tossed around by the waves.
Therefore my beloved, give your troubles to God, put your trust in Him alone, and stand firm on His promises.
“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4:6-7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.
