“But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.” (James 1:6)
God, through His servant James, told His readers that if they lacked wisdom they should ask God. Now He tells us to ask in faith. The Bible reminds us that, “Without faith it is impossible to please God.” (Hebrews 11:6)
To “waver” is to vacillate, to be indecisive, unsure or unsettled. It is like the man who died of a treatable disease because he never could make a choice between two physicians. The wavering person is like a wave on the sea, first going toward shore and then back toward the open sea.
When we lack wisdom we must ask God in faith, settled on our request and believing He will honor our legitimate request for wisdom.
