Wisdom

Wisdom
    “If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord;  he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does.”
                      James 1:5-8
    Webster’s dictionary defines Wisdom as 1. Accumulated Philosophic or scientific learning: Knowledge b. ability to discern inner qualities and relationships : insight C; good sense. The teachings of ancient wise men.
    Someone once said to me wisdom is using the knowledge you have to the best of your ability.
    Christians need wisdom. No matter where we are in the world we are in a minority.
    We are sojourners foreigners in this world. Our homeland is heaven. We are here on this earth to tell the world of our homeland and of the saving grace our Lord and Saviour offers to all mankind.
    In order to do that task to the best of our ability we need to ask God for all the wisdom we can handle. We need to ask and not doubt.
    Doubt is the enemy of faith. That is why we must put all doubt aside and walk by faith ever trusting in God.
    Someone has said of Christians, that we stand on he shoulders of giants. Those giants being the writers of the Bible.
    We need to study what the writers of the Bible wrote. It is the accumulated knowledge and wisdom of our faith.
    By studying and applying the truths of the scriptures to our life we open a door to reach the lost of this world a door through which they may enter heaven.
