Verse of the day: James 1:5

“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.”

James 1:5

Reflection

James promises that God gives wisdom generously and doesn't scold us for asking. There's no penalty for admitting we don't know what to do.

Prayer

God, I need wisdom for a decision in front of me. Please give it generously, as you promised. Amen.

In context · James 1:3–7

Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. 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. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
