Wisdom

One of the things I’ve been praying about as we begin the new year is for God to grant me fresh wisdom. A new year means new opportunities and new challenges; many new decisions need to be made that all require varying measures of the wisdom of God. James 1:5 comes to mind, which reads, “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.” It’s so easy to become wise in our own eyes and begin leaning on our own understanding. Let’s heed James’ Spirit-filled advice and recognize our need for a generous dose of the wisdom of God in every area of our lives. God promises to come through when we ask. Now that’s something to pray about!
