James 1:5...Scripture: Shared by body of Christ

James 1:5 ... 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.

Exhortation:  Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet


Wisdom comes from God.  When we lack wisdom and pray in faith, God is faithful to give us the wisdom we need in order to deal with the matter at hand.

That wisdom "shall be given" us.  This is a promise of God to the church.

We might panic at first but just pray and wait until you are sure you know what to do.

James 3 ... Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. 14But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. 15This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.  16For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.  17But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
