wisdom


James 1:5 says “If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives gorgeously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.” I was reading in the Prayer Devotional Bible about wisdom and one of their little tutorials said wisdom “…is not so much knowing what to do, as how to be. “ So today I’m asking God for wisdom for a particular situation. There is something that has me stumped, and I need to know how to be with it. Hmmm….things to ponder

Hi Jen!
I've been praying for wisdom a lot lately too. I think God gave me this verse (also in James) and it helped me so I thought I would pass it along!
James 3:17-18
"But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness."
I read it about 25 times in a row and tacked it to my bulletin board at work. :)
I think it has lots of suggestions on how to "be" and react to situations...
Hope you're doing well! :)
