Good Friday morning, my friends.
If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. (James 1:5)
We all need wisdom. Where do we find it? How does God give it to us? He provides it in scripture. He provides it through life experience - our own and observing others. And He provides it in answer to prayer. The trick is to put wisdom into practice. It's one thing to have the wisdom to know what to do; it's another to have the courage to do it. Pray for both.
Grace and peace and wisdom be yours in abundance,
Bruce
Father, we are advised by the apostle James to ask for any wisdom we lack, and You will give generously to us that which we ask.
So much wisdom is attained by carefully reading, studying, and applying the Scripture.
Additional wisdom is granted through the experiences we go through in life and also observing others, their response to critical situations along with their life choices and the results that follow.
There are many things we observe and learn as we go through life’s journey.
Help us to hold on to that which will profit us, that which will benefit or broaden our understanding.
Enable us to reject and dispense of that which is in direct contrast to Your Holy Word so that we are not led astray or misguided by teachings the world deems to be knowledgeable or wise.
In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen.
