‘DR IN THE HOUSE’ ON FEELING WE LACK WISDOM
THE PROBLEM: Feeling like we are ill-equipped for something. Like we don’t know enough to do something or just can’t.
THE WORD:
If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. 6 But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. James 1:5-6
THE GIFT: Wisdom will be given generously to all without finding fault. But there is a catch… look at the verse closely- ‘when you ask, you must believe and not doubt,’
THE CHOICE: Think of something you really wonder about. An opportunity that is before you or a choice you have to make. And then consider how you might apply this verse to an ‘asking out prayer’. (I’ll use words I often use.)
- Ask, “All-knowing God, am I supposed to do this?’ “Almighty God, show me the way.” “Father-God, what am I to do?” (Yep, it’s really this simple – hang on.)
- Belief, “I know you love me, and I know your plan is best- so I trust the path you have set before me and I will go where you ask. I will watch for a door and go through ones I feel are in line with your commands. I will know those that work- were just where you wanted me. The doors that close you also commanded. With humble pride, I will thank you now and later for your leading steps and loving care over the path you have me on.”
- No doubt, each morning and night I re-pray a prayer like above. All through the day, I try to be alert and mindful of the Holy Spirit nudging. I fill my mind with quiet time and joyful positive Christian music and education. I am alert to darkness that will try to push its way in and I immediately call it out and give to Jesus. One of the hugest parts of ‘no doubt’ is giving God the glory.
Have a wonderful day and remember…
