ASK GOD FOR WISDOM

“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.” James 1:5 (NIV)

It is no news that we are living in very precarious times. There are challenges everywhere you turn. This is why you need the wisdom of God. From the moment you wake up till the moment you fall asleep, you need the wisdom of God. You cannot even leave your house without seeking the wisdom of God. The roads are not even safe. The only place of safety is in Jesus Christ. The awesome thing is that God has promised to give us this wisdom when we ask.

If we must walk in the reality of God’s promises, then we need the wisdom of God. Daily, take time to ask God for wisdom concerning every area of your life. Don’t just rush out the door daily and say it doesn’t matter or sign that business deal without asking for the wisdom of God. If we learn anything from previous and current happenings, it is that man does not have the answer. The best of man is still a man. It is only God that knows the end from the beginning. Therefore, it is vitally important that we seek wisdom from Jehovah.

The Book of Proverbs 4:7 tells us that, “Wisdom is the principal thing;…” So, we must pursue wisdom with every fibre of our being. Wisdom will make you sought after. Wisdom will cause you to stand before kings and not mean men. Wisdom will open doors for you. Wisdom will make you the preferred person. Make up your mind to go after wisdom.

The wisdom of God enabled Joseph to interpret Pharaoh’s dream in Genesis 41, leading to his elevation to the position of Prime Minister. God’s wisdom also enabled Daniel to interpret the king’s dream in Daniel 2:24-49. Child of God, pay the price to get wisdom. Spend time in the presence of God and go after wisdom.
