Ask For Wisdom.

Just Do It, Part 3
How is it possible to look upon the trials of life not as enemies, but as vehicles to get me where God wants me to be? The key is wisdom. Wisdom equips us with the skill for living and in this context, living through, and rising above life’s trials. Wisdom in the context of the trials of life, is knowing, and then carrying out God’s will in the midst of trials.
“God wants you to maneuver wisely through your trials, in order to make you better.”
Scripture:
James 1:5-8
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. But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.
Highlights:
• Wisdom is the means by which godly people can understand and carry out the will of God.
• Wisdom in the context of trials is knowing, and then carrying out God’s will in the midst of trials.
• Wisdom is given when we ask.
• Wisdom is given generously.
• Wisdom is given to believers, not doubters.
• We will never know wisdom until we choose.
• God wants you to maneuver wisely through your trials, in order to make you better.
