Screaming For Wisdom

Do any of you need wisdom? Ask God for it. He is generous and enjoys giving to everyone. So he will give you wisdom. James 1:5 ERV

I think that most of us need to make this a priority prayer request of God on a daily basis. I know I do! So why is it that when we can’t figure things out, we sit and worry about it?

God says if we need wisdom, ask! Man, I’d rather have Gods wisdom than anyone else’s. So seriously, why don’t we? Is it easier to google search for answers to difficult questions? Have we become people who think more highly of the things and ways of the world than the things and ways of God?

Everything we need for life is in the Word. How dumb are we for not opening the book with all the answers? I don’t want to get it from someone else who puts their own twist on it. I want to get it out of my relationship with God. God search, yeah, that’s what I’ll call it.

Jeremiah 20:13 says, “And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.”

There is nowhere to find answers but in you, Lord. Forgive me for ever trying to find those answers in the things of this world. Silly, silly me! I want to be wise like you, God. Knowing good from evil, discerning the times, encouraging, blessing, caring, and loving. I want to know how to listen and hear your voice clearly, without distraction. I want to be quick to obey, not let my flesh have its way. I ask for wisdom. Give me an understanding heart. Help me to trust in you, not me.
