Gaining wisdom

HAPPY NEW YEAR


The true source of wisdom is God. He is the One who has the answers, solutions, and knowledge to help whatever the situation.

God wants us to ask Him for wisdom. He wants to provide us with the answers, solutions and knowledge that we need. The sad thing is that so very few people take God up on His offer. We have pride. We want to do it on our own and so we stumble along making mistake after mistake in our lives.

There is nothing to be ashamed of in having to ask God for help because you are in very good company when you do.
Abraham Lincoln is one of those who often went to his knees in prayer to seek help from God. Lincoln said this, "I have been driven many times to my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go. My wisdom and that of all about me seemed insufficient for the day."

Are you tired of trying to do it on your own and messing things up time after time?

Remember that Bible says,
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.
Why not ask Him now?


James 1 : 5-6
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. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.
