James 1:5 (NKJV) 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
We can ask God for wisdom today and He gives it to us liberally and without reproach, meaning He gives it freely; it doesn’t cost us anything. The only thing we have to do is acknowledge the fact that we need it, and ask Him for it.
It’s sad that He is so willing to offer it to us, but yet we don’t think at times to ask. It could save us a lot of problems, if we would just ask.
Some of us have a hard time asking God for anything, for whatever reason. Maybe we don’t want to ask Him because we feel that we have everything we need and we know their are others who are worse off, and we feel funny asking God for certain things.
It’s good that we are compassionate, caring and put others before ourselves; that’s a good quality to have. But there comes a time when we have to ask God for things for ourselves as well, and not feel guilty about it or feel like we are being ungrateful or greedy, etc.
God wants us to ask Him for things and not be shy about it. Take a step today and ask God for the things we need; maybe it’s wisdom today, but maybe tomorrow it’s something else. It doesn’t have to be a need, it could be a desire. Either way, ask Him.
Matthew 7:8 (NKJV) 8 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.
