Receive his wisdom
To say it has been very windy of late is an understatement, many days and nights it has been blowing a strong gale across the south coast. It’s hard to feel calm and composed when everything around you is blowing a gale.
The same is true in our walk with Jesus, especially when it comes to trusting in his wisdom. In James 1:5-6 we read, 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.
Trying to figure out the things of life requires a lot of wisdom, and let’s be honest, as humans we need a lot of wisdom. When we lack wisdom, we tend to turn to Google, or a friend. Yet, the greatest source of wisdom that we can acquire can only be found in God. Best of all God loves to provide his great wisdom to those who ask him for it. But there is an important catch, if we are going to ask the creator of the universe, the author of all wisdom for his wisdom, then we better make sure that when we do receive his wisdom, we believe and act upon it.
Doubts are like strong winds, they blow us here, there and everywhere. It’s hard to think straight, remain clear in our thoughts, which then inhibits our ability to make good wise decisions in life. God’s wisdom for us is good, helpful and exactly what we need to help us through life. To avoid having our mind and hearts blown around, ask God for his wisdom, and then believe in it and hold onto it.
