Wisdom

James 1:5  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.

Wisdom is more than mere knowledge. It involves skills in the affairs of life, tact, sound judgment, and good sense  I fear that the vast majority look in all the wrong places for wisdom.

This world and its ideas don’t have the answers for the  problems we face. Wisdom comes from God. Our society  in large part is ignorant of the Bible and the ways of God. If believers are to be effective for the Lord, we must not be lacking in wisdom.

We need to understand that the wisdom of God is usually not received immediately. We must be willing to seek Him in prayer, read His Word, and meditate upon Him.

There’s no limit to the wisdom of God. He is more than able to provide all we need and will give it without measure if we sincerely desire to receive it. We lack wisdom because we don’t ask expecting to receive.
