THE 11th OF JULY
WE RECEIVE WISDOM WHEN WE ASK IT IN FAITH
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. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting. – James 1:5-6a
Every single one of us need more of God’s wisdom. Throughout the years, there have been some truly brilliant Christians, but none of them had perfect wisdom in every area of life. Even many of the geniuses, that invented or discovered so many amazing things, made many of bad choices and could have used more of God’s wisdom also.
Our Lord is more than willing to make us wiser. God has prepared His wisdom for us, because He wants us to have it so that we might live victorious lives. All we have to do to receive God’s wisdom, is to believe that He has it and is willing to give it to us, so that we may ask in faith. Our carnal nature would always try to make us doubt that we are worthy to receive anything from God and the enemy would use any lie to try to stop us from receiving more wisdom too.
A wise Christian is a powerful one and a real threat to the kingdom of darkness, so the devil tries every trick to stop us from becoming wiser. But Jesus, “who is in us is greater than he who is in the world” (1 John 4:4), so we can become wiser, because that is our Lord’s desire for us.
SUGGESTED PRAYER
Thank You dear Lord for Your wisdom and please give me more of it. Please help me overcome any doubt so that I will not hesitate in my belief that the more I mature spiritually, I can receive more and more of Your wisdom. I need Your wisdom to be able to know You more, to understand Your ways and be able to live to please You. Thank You dear Lord for making a way for me to replace the worldly wisdom that I tried all my life to accumulate, with Your true and perfect wisdom that cannot be topped by anything else. In the Name of Jesus I pray. Amen
