Comments by Barbara Preston:
When
I first became aware of this scripture, as a new Christian, I always
found it comforting to be reminded that God does not become angry or
impatient with us for coming to HIM when we need wisdom on anything we
are dealing with.
Just the opposite. This is what HE wants us to do and HIS wisdom is always perfect for us. HE never lets us down.

3 Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof.
