James 1:5
Read this verse in depth with cross-references and study notes
God generously gives wisdom to all who sincerely ask Him.
When we lack wisdom, we need not rely solely on our own understanding or the counsel of others. God promises to give wisdom liberally to those who ask in faith. He does not rebuke us for our lack, but invites us to come boldly to Him for the insight we need.
Apply This Today
When facing a difficult decision today, pause to pray and ask God for His wisdom rather than rushing ahead in your own understanding.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, I acknowledge my need for Your wisdom. Fill me with discernment and understanding as I seek Your will in all things. Amen.
