Ask for Wisdom

Ask for Wisdom

“If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.  
But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.  
That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord;  he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does.” 
                          James 1:5-8

Here James makes what to me is a simple statement. If we lack wisdom we should ask God for it. We should ask and not doubt that God will give us that wisdom.
We all have times when we need wisdom in making decisions. Times when we can’t decide what the best path to take is in our lives.
In those times we should go to prayer. Sincere earnest prayer and ask God for guidance.
We must also expect and not doubt that the wisdom we are asking for comes from God.
If we do we may just make the wrong decision.
The key when we are asking anything from God is to ask in all sincerity. To ask expecting an answer. Then when we get that answer we must act in accordance to the way God has shown us.
Think about it.
