James

Chapter 1 verses 5-8 (1:5-8)

Brandi! If you lack wisdom, You should ask God, who gives generously to you without finding fault, and it will be given to you. But when you ask you must believe and not doubt, because if you doubt you will be like a wave of the sea, blown tossed by the wind. Brandi if you doubt you should not think you will receive anything from the Lord, your a double minded woman, unstable in all you do.
What is wisdom: the ability to make wise decisions in difficult circumstance...
Do not make any decisions before you ask for Gods wisdom and don't be surprised if you have to wait...if you have to be "patient" and have "perseverance" to get to Gods wisdom...and don't expect it to look like the world because it wont...and don't kid your self our God who gives generously to ALL...means you...and when you make decisions in the dark it's because you have chosen to not because God was bogarting the wisdom!
But!! I see here there is a stipulation a prerequisite I should say found in verse 6... when I ask I must believe and not doubt...why? Because doubt is like an ocean wave blown and tossed by the wind...by what ever influence, opinion,trend etc... comes along...
What is the truth you are living then? What happens if your life decisions are made with doubt in the mix with out Gods wisdom...it can seriously affect the people around you your wife/husband, children, friends...your circle of influence...you will not be able to be trusted by the choices that you make...you say one thing but mean another or do another...you don't walk your talk...not a fun place to be...
I'll take Gods "unpopular" wisdom thank you very much!!!
Lord help me to remember to ask for your wisdom in all that I do...amen
