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. But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. That person is double-minded and unstable in all they do. James 1:5-7 NIV
If you have any love for your neighbor please heed the preceding warning. The wisdom of God being available to common people like you and me is astonishing. The promise is ironclad, and yet the wisdom of His love and grace are often absent in our lives. The theology of many Christians fall short of divine wisdom. The effects we have in the Spirit come up short because of our handling of God’s invitation to trust. I confess ,I often don’t even ask God for wisdom. Once I do ask I am astonished just how much a difference faith makes once I recognize what God has already provided His people in Jesus.
The world is reeling from all it’s troubles and uncertainty. The Kingdom of God does no sway up and down like we see nations do. Faith in God ought govern our conduct. Once we seek the Kingdom of God, the affairs of our neighbors ought be impacted by the wisdom of God. Jesus preached and lived out the way we ought represent God. Observe how Jesus had an effect on His neighbors. Let’s purpose to ask in faith for wisdom.
