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 (NIV))
Do you seek wisdom?
Perhaps I should clarify that question!
Do you seek Godly wisdom?
Far too may people, even those who profess a faith in Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior, seek after worldly wisdom. They try to make themselves think that they have God in mind, but it is shrouded in what they can get for themselves.
What kind of wisdom do you seek?
Personally, I find myself getting distracted even when I profess to want to seek after the Lord. I honestly believe that it is part of our fallen human nature, for even Paul experienced the very same thing.
I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.
(Romans 7:15 (NIV))
When this happens, we, like Paul, must focus on Jesus. We must press on toward the prize. We must seek after His righteousness.
With all that is happening in the world, we must have a Godly perspective, a Godly wisdom, to understand what is unfolding right before our eyes. I don't want to be blind sided because I was focusing on the wisdom of the world. I want to focus on God's Word and His truth so that I understand what He is doing.
We cannot fathom the greatness of God. We cannot fathom the depth of wisdom that is our God. We simply cannot handle it.
I know a person who said one of the most profound statements that I strive to live by. I may not say this every day, but every day I get up with this attitude.
Lord, give me the wisdom to know what I need to know when I need to know it!
Are you asking God for His wisdom?
