DAY THIRTEEN
Pray for Wisdom - James 1:5 5If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
Wisdom – definitely something to be cherished in this world. When you have wisdom…you can achieve great things.
Recognize your need for wisdom.
- Wisdom will get you through the greatest trial. Without it, our trials lack joy.
- Wisdom can give you the ability to apply the facts for life application.
- Wisdom can be asked for. “let him ask of God…”
- The good news is – no matter the circumstance we go through, God has provided wisdom in our trials on how to get through them.
What’s required to get wisdom?
- When you ask, do not doubt.
- This is where FAITH enters the picture.
- God is ready and willing to grant us our request, but we must be willing to ask Him to be with us and give us our wisdom in faith…there must not be any doubt.
Five steps to Wisdom
- Pray – ask God for guidance.
- Slow Down – we can make bad choices when we’re in a rush.
- Don’t try to get ahead by living dangerously – swerving in and out of situations is dangerous for you and others. You can’t afford to let self-destructive patterns guide you. It’s very risky and leads to instability.
- Pay attention to direction – God puts people in your life to help you see the warning signs.
- If you make an unwise choice it is not the end of the world – quickly make a wise choice to correct your situation.
