Wednesday
James 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.
Wisdom is that illusive quality we respect in others and find so difficult to develop in ourselves. Yet God promises it to those who really ask. But remember the secret of “ ASKing” – asking, seeking, and knocking. Or better yet, check out Proverbs 2. Wisdom is ours only if we seek it above all other possessions and value it above all other diversions. God longs to impart it, but there is something about wisdom that demands we value it before we can receive it.
PRAYER ... Gracious giver of all good gifts, please bless me with wisdom today. Let me reflect on Your will and live for Your glory in all my decisions. Let Your Kingdom guide my heart as I make my choices and have Your Spirit lead me in Your ways. I confess, Father, that I cannot guide my own steps without Your help. So, grant me wisdom today. I pray in Jesus’ name. Amen.
