The lady on the other end of line was on the verge of tears. “Please will you pray for me? I don’t know what to do. I feel like a lost child. I just need God’s wisdom.”
I couldn’t help but feel her sorrow. She was terribly torn. How often in my own life had I wondered at what choice to make, knowing that either option would be difficult? As we began to pray together, God brought to mind scripture I had just studied in my Radiant Core Group.
“If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind. Such people should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. Their loyalty is divided between God and the world, and they are unstable in everything they do.” James 1:5-8 (NLT)
God wants to bless us with His wisdom, to answer our questions. The key to receiving His direction is our faith.
“Faith makes us sure of what we hope for and gives us proof of what we cannot see.” Hebrews 11:1 (CEV)
We can be confident that God will give us His wisdom, we just need to believe without any doubts that He is true to His promises!
