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.
Every day we make choices. Some of them are pretty easy to make, while others require considerable effort, thought and prayer.
The best choices are always made with wisdom. Choices and decisions that are made in haste, or without wisdom, will always lead to trouble.
But even when it comes to wisdom, there is a choice to make.
There is earthly wisdom and wisdom that comes from God. They can be vastly different. And earthly wisdom may not always coincide with the wisdom God gives.
You see, God’s wisdom will sometimes fly in the face of man’s wisdom. God’s wisdom sees things through spiritual eyes and eyes of faith, whereas man’s wisdom sees things only in the natural, and through eyes of intellect and logic.
It’s imperative that we learn the difference and learn to recognize God’s wisdom when making important decisions and choices.
So how do we get God’s wisdom and discern it from man’s wisdom?
Proverbs 2:6 (NKJV) 6 For the Lord gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding; and it will be given to him.
God’s wisdom is found in His word and it is shown to us through knowing His word and through the Holy Spirit.
So if we’re lacking God’s wisdom, we need to seek it. His word tells us to ask of Him and it will be given. And he gives it liberally and without reproach!
