Limitless Wisdom

By Paula Williamson, guest writer

One of life’s biggest challenges is not knowing what to do. Daily challenges open the door to countless uncertainties. Believing that God is the author and creator of the Universe, the one who knows everything from beginning to end and has inspired an instruction book for us to live by, gives me confidence. James 1:5 says, “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him." Before I do anything, my first response is to ask for wisdom.

It Is Written

Psalm 119:98 Your commands are always with me and make me wiser than my enemies.

Wisdom Has a Source

If I want to be wiser than my enemies, I must study the Bible, know it, and spend time with the one who inspired it. Just think about it. If someone told you that you had access to the wisest person in the universe and could ask Him anything, what would you do? The truth is that we do. In John 14:6, Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” Jesus tore the veil that separated us from God the Father, and we can walk right into the Holy of Holies and ask anything.

Prayer

Lord, thank You for providing a way into Your holy presence through Jesus Christ. Thank You that I am welcome in Your presence. Thank You that when I ask for wisdom, You will grant me a bountiful supply. Thank You for making me wiser than my enemies. Thank You that in You I lack nothing.

Takeaway

Wisdom comes from asking for it.
