James 1:5—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.
Have you ever been wrong about something? Of course!
We all have been wrong about something at some time. As humans, we are often so sure of what we
“know,” but frequently we learn that we are wrong or mistaken. The older we get, sometimes we learn that
something we have believed our entire lives is “wrong.” The truth is, we all
lack wisdom, and we all lack knowledge.
Socrates said that “true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.” And that’s where God comes in. It’s not for us to know all the details. It doesn’t matter if we have it all figured
out. That’s the whole point of
faith. But God can give us wisdom to
know how to treat others, to be compassionate, to show respect. Wisdom is knowing what the right thing is,
even if you can’t really articulate why.
And God is desperate to fill us with His Wisdom – we need only ask.
Today as you pray and meditate on His Word, praise God for
His Wisdom. Ask Him to flood your spirit
with wisdom that you might further His Kingdom on Earth. Pray that He guide you
in all your decisions and forgive all lack of wisdom inherent in your
humanity. Rejoice in the solace that His
Wisdom is trustworthy beyond all human knowledge and comprehension.
