WORD OF WISDOM
God Gives Wisdom When You Ask
Main Scripture — James 1:5 (KJV)
“If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.”
Dear ORADI Student,
Have you ever kept quiet when you needed help because everyone else seemed to understand? Perhaps you watched a lesson twice and still got stuck at the same step. Or maybe you are facing a decision about work, family or your studies, and each option seems to come with a cost.
James writes about asking for wisdom in the middle of trials. His words remind us that God gives generously and welcomes us when we ask. You can tell God exactly where you are confused and ask Him for wisdom to respond well.
Today, be specific in your prayer. If an exercise is difficult, name the step where you got stuck. If you are weighing a decision, tell God what makes the choice hard. Then give yourself time to listen, seek wise counsel and consider what you learn. Asking a clear question may help you see a next step you had overlooked.
When you reach the limit of what you understand, bring that very place to God in prayer.
Today’s Reflection
Where do I need wisdom right now, and what specific question can I bring to God today?
Let Us Pray
Heavenly Father, thank You for welcoming me when I ask for wisdom. You know where I feel confused and where I am tempted to rush. Give me patience to listen, humility to ask for help and discernment to recognise sound advice. Help me act on what I learn with courage and care. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Today’s Affirmation
God welcomes me when I ask for wisdom. Today I will ask honestly, listen carefully and put what I learn into practice.
