James 1:5 (NKJV) 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.
Having Godly wisdom is a necessity, but whether we have it or not is a choice we must make.
Now, James is being nice when he says, “If any of us lacks wisdom”. That’s a very kind way of putting it out there.
But let me just admit something here. I know I need God’s wisdom so much in my life. It hurts if I don’t have it. I will almost literally insert my foot in my mouth without Him.
Never mind asking. I will beg Him for His wisdom at times because I know me. And I need it on a constant basis!
What stands out to me in this scripture is, number one, we all will lack wisdom at times. Thus, it’s up to us to get Godly wisdom.
It’s crucial to remember this, because not only will we need it, but here is where number two comes in. We have to ask for it. Once we ask, He gives wisdom to us. Thank you, Lord!
Wisdom is a good thing to have.
Wisdom will keep us from digging ourselves a deeper hole at times. Wisdom will keep us from taking a wrong position or stance.
Wisdom will save us from entering into a bad relationship. Wisdom will keep us financially stable, etc.
Good, Godly Wisdom is so helpful when we are in a situation and we are backed into a corner. God knows how to get us out of it.
He is our God, our Jehovah, our El Shaddai, our Elohim, and the Creator of all things. And He is willing to grant us wisdom.
We just have to ask. Amen.
