"God's Gift of Wisdom"

 

“God’s Gift of 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

 

WISDOM:  The quality or state of being wise; knowledge of what is true or right, coupled with just judgment.

 

This time of year, probably the MOST ASKED QUESTION is: “What do you want for Christmas?”  And that is a LOADED QUESTION, with MANY different answers, mostly of which are MATERIAL THINGS.  But for the TRUE CHILD of GOD, our attention is on the BIRTH of our SAVIOR and LORD.  And we should be SEEKING the SPIRITUAL GIFTS that OUR HEAVENLY FATHER has in store for His CHILDREN, and all they have to do is ASK.

 

Whenever a TRUE CHILD of GOD, is confused or frustrated with Spiritual endeavors, they SHOULD come to the One who is ALL KNOWING, or OMNISCIENT, He is the ALMIGHTY GOD, and has the ability of having COMPLETE KNOWLEDGE or UNDERSTANDING and PERCEIVING ALL things.  And they SHOULD ASK Him for WISDOM to UNDERSTAND His Will and His Ways. 

 

And our GIVING GOD, Who, desires us to have GODLY WISDOM, will give it to His Child GENEROUSLY, without finding fault, nor giving it grudgingly.  This GIFT of WISDOM, is a READILY VALUABLE RESOURCE that is AVAILABLE for the ASKING.  However, there are some things we MUST NOT DO, if we are able to RECEIVE this VALUABLE GIFT.  In verse six, it tells us that we SHOULD ASK BELIEVING and NOT DOUBTING, because those who DOUBT is like a WAVE of the sea, BLOWN and TOSSED by the wind.  A DOUBLE-MINDED person is UNSABLE, and they SHOULD NOT expect to receive anything from the Lord.  The answer to their REQUEST depends on their ASSURANCE in GOD.

 

If you have NOT given your HEART and LIFE to God, you might have some “WORLDLY WISDOM”, which is FALLIBLE, and FLAWED on a lot of things. And you are at RISK of being duped into believing that you are okay and nothing is wrong with your sinful lifestyle.  Any lifestyle that is lived by FLESHLY DESIRES is SINFUL.  And when you KEEP REJECTING JESUS CHRIST as your SAVIOR and LORD, your DESTINY is an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE, once you are there.  In order to CHANGE this DESTINY, you MUST BE WILLING TO TURN AWAY FROM your sinful lifestyle, and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  Then CONFESS your sins to Him and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  And BELIEVE with ALL your HEART, that JESUS died for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God.  You MUST ACCEPT God’s Gift of SALVATION, and have ASSURANCE in HIM. And be able to RECEIVE His GIFT of WISDOM, along with an ETERNITY in HEAVEN and ALL its BLESSINGS.  So, do this NOW, while you still can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!
