Ask For Wisdom In Faith

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 
                           (James 1:5-6 KJV)

Again; this morning, my attention is turned to the journey on the wrong paths that end negative consequences. How is it that after doing the same old thing with the same old consequences that humankind does not ask for wisdom of God and follow in the path that leads to fruitfulness; to joy; to peace; to eternal life.

There is a quote which is most probably wrongly attributed to Albert Einstein. It says: "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result." 

If things are continually going downhill for you, just maybe it is time to change what you are doing or the way that you are doing them. Just maybe, it is time to ask God for the wisdom to follow in a way that will be less devastating for you. Maybe, it is time to ask God what it is exactly that you might need to change in your life. 

Ask in faith for wisdom and it will be given to you. But, remember to listen when He answers.

God's Peace - Pr. J.
