When I read James 1: 5, "If any of you need wisdom, you should ask God, and it will be given to you. God is generous and won't correct you for asking" (CEV), I want to say, "IF? IF? Of course we need wisdom!"
We need wisdom to have healthy relationships, to worship God in the way He deserves, to earn enough money to live on and help others, to do our jobs well . . . I'm sure you can finish this list with dozens more ways we need supernatural, divine wisdom.
James has the perfect solution: ask God. Pretty simple. And pretty wonderful. Our loving God, who is wisdom personified, will give us all the wisdom we need, if we just ask. Hooray and Hallelujah!
And the best part? God will not scold us for asking. Isn't He so sweet?
We do our part: we ask. God does His part: He gives.
What do you need wisdom for today? Let us agree in prayer for each other.
I am thankful that I came across this on my early Saturday morning. This is a wonderful devotion in itself. I am agreeing with you in prayer. We all need God's wisdom. Have a wonderful Saturday.
ReplyDeleteIf, if... that's kind of funny (almost)... of course we need wisdom to make the right choices, to do the right thinbgs, to say the right words! Great post, thanks.
