Need some wisdom?

I don't know about you but I know I need some wisdom everyday!!! Read these verses for today:

James 1:5-6
5 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. 6 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.

I like how verse 5 starts out..."if any of you lacks wisdom"....well from what I see in today's world all of us need some wisdom. The verse goes on to say where we get wisdom...God!!! I want us to grasp this. We don't go to Oprah or Dr.Phil or any other man for true wisdom. It comes from God...please understand this. I believe this is why our world is in the shape it is in. We have put to much confidence in man instead of the One who has all the answers....God! Verse 5 goes on to say when we ask, God gives wisdom out liberally which means in large amounts...thank you God! He also gives as verse 5 says without reproach which means without blame. My brothers and sisters think about that for a moment. The only way we can be without blame before God this morning is through believing in his son Jesus who shed His blood on the cross for our sins. Thank you, thank you Jesus!! God goes on to tell us when we ask for wisdom it will be given to us. That just blows my mind that God gives it to us...his rebellous children. There is a but here though. Look in verse 6...we must ask in faith....in other words believing in God and His son Jesus. If we don't believe then we might as well not ask for wisdon because it will not be given. When we doubt the verse goes on to tell us what we are like....a wave tossed around like the wind. Can you picture that? I can. Picture a sea with a storm in it. The waves are tossed in every direction, but with true faith picture the sea that was calmed by Jesus....still and calm....so calm it is like a mirror. Wow what a mighty God we serve! Who loves us so much that all we have to do is ask for wisdom and it is given to those who believe!!

So if you want some wisdom come to the King this morning and believe! He will give you more than you can handle!

Have a great day!
