James 1:5,6 esv
Where do you get your advice from? A trial has a way its way
of taking its toll on us. The natural response to trouble is to worry. Along with
that we usually tend to want to run to someone or something for help and
guidance. Most of us do right in understanding that we can’t handle all the
troubles of life on our own, but go astray from there. We run to everyone and
everything for help. Even as children of God we will try to find solace in
horoscopes, talk show hosts, and our friends for help. But James
says that we should ask God for wisdom!
Do you lack wisdom? We all do. But God has all that we need.
In Bible study the other night someone mentioned how great it would be to talk
with someone who is 100 years old. Just hearing about all the trials and
triumphs a person of that age has endured would be encouraging and provide
insight to life. This is very true, but how much more wisdom does Jesus have? He
knows everything about you, the world you live in, and the purpose behind your
trial. Ask Christ boldly with faith for the wisdom to come through your trial
victorious and you will. Just don’t doubt Him.
