James 1:5-6 (New International Version)
If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.
This verse really struck me. How often do we as Christians doubt what God can do? I know I am guilty of it. How often do we ask and yet not with a believing heart? Again I am guilty of that. God is wisdom, truth, and love..He does not doubt. If our faith is in the Lord Jesus Christ we need to remember to go to Him with a believing heart. It is through Him we can have the ultimate peace that this world cannot and will never give. It is so easy to get caught up in the world we live in and yet the only real consistency a person can have is in knowing Jesus as their own personal savior. He is the one constant in my life and having a personal relationship with Christ is the most amazing experience a person can have. I cannot imagine my life without it! It doesn't mean the world doesn't creep in but we need to remember to go the Lord in prayer for wisdom (webster's defines as good sense) in our lives.
