If You Lack Wisdom

“If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.”(James 1:5)

God is the greatest source of wisdom in the entire universe. His well of wisdom never runs dry. That is why James, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit tells us that if we lack wisdom we should ask God.

When Solomon, son of King David, assumed the role of king following David’s death, God said for Solomon to ask what you will and I will give it to you. Solomon asked for wisdom to be able to lead the people. God abundantly granted his request. In one of his proverbs Solomon wrote, “For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.” (Proverbs 8:11)

Are you facing a huge decision and you’re not sure what direction you need to take? Ask God for wisdom. The next verse instructs us to ask in faith. When you ask God in faith for wisdom you can be sure His answer will not be in violation of His Holy Word. Acquaint yourself with God’s Word on the subject of your decision and trust Him to give you the right answer.
