Asking God for Wisdom

 

Wisdom, knowledge and understanding is a great thing to have and to hold onto in this life journey.  James 1:5 suggests that if any lack wisdom, to ask of God, and He will give it to you.  Ask in faith, believing you shall receive it and you will get it.  It may not come the way you think it's going to come.  Remember, God's way and timing is not the same as our way and timing.  Isaiah 55:8-9.  God says "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways" "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts".

Therefore, be careful of what you are asking for.  It may come with a trial, tribulation, temptation, circumstance or situation.  It may come swift and easy or it may come long and harsh.  But, either way it comes, rest assured that God will perfect everything that concerns you and His plans for you.  Ecclesiastes 1:18 tell us that "For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow".  Don't let this stop you from asking God for wisdom.  Wisdom is one of the gifts from the HOLY SPIRIT and you are going to need and use it for the rest of your life in this earth.  For your spiritual health, your family guidance, raising your children, employment selections, choosing your spouse, and other choices in you life.  Father loves it when we come to Him and ask, seek and knock.  He is our Father and He welcomes communion and communication with Him.  Call upon Him while He is near.  Speak His word over your and your loved ones life.  Hunger and thirst for His will and way and He will supply ALL your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.  Philippians 4:19

 

The LORD is your Shepherd, you shall not want.  Psalm 23:1
