J23

"If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men
liberally, and upbraideth not, and it shall be given him. But let him
ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of
the sea driven with the wind and tossed." James 1:5-6

"Wisdom" here is related to trials, troubles and problems. When we lack
wisdom in regard to a problem, we need to go to God in prayer. Wisdom is
the exercise and practical use of knowledge, but has no practical sense
whatsoever. Wisdom is to know how to act under certain circumstances of
testing, of trial, or when problems arise. Life is filled with these,
and we need wisdom from God. God is in the business of giving out wisdom
"liberally" ~ that is simply. He will simply help us out in times of
trouble.

"But let hm ask in faith, nothing wavering." Do you believe God will
help you? As a Christian, do you have a long face today? Are you
wondering how your problems will work out? Trust Him and turn them over
to Him. We have a heavenly Father who can supply the wisdom we need.

"For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and
tossed." We say, "I believe God is going to work this out," but then we
jump at it ourselves and make our own decisions. We decide that nothing
has shown up by way of solution, so we solve it ourselves. That's where
we make our mistake! We are then "like a wave of the sea driven with the
wind and tossed."

When we lack wisdom, let's go to God ~ He will hear and answer our
prayers if we will just practice a little more faith and have patience.
God Bless You.
