Staying In the Grace for Today

Wisdom God Wants for Me

If you need wisdom, ask our generous God,

and he will give it to you.

He will not rebuke you for asking.

James 1:5 

I find it very helpful, as I seek to make the life in Christ my way of life, that the Bible is very transparent about the lives of the people God called to fulfill his purpose for humankind.  Thomas had his doubts, and Jesus met him at his point of need. Moses also doubted he could fulfill God’s calling, and God proved him wrong. Job was beset with all manner of trouble, and God did not abandon him or ignore him. Peter abandoned Jesus, and Jesus restored him. Paul faced so many dilemmas and hardships, but God never stopped pouring His grace into Paul’s life.

None of us are perfect, so there is no need or benefit to fake it. I think maybe God holds a special place for those of us with many questions and even doubts. God never turns away from those who seek, knock and ask Him. Remember, God wants to give us His good gifts, which includes His wisdom. In today’s world, many of us are very troubled by the political and economic culture. In a recent political poll, only ten to fifteen percent of the electorate valued honesty and integrity as an important quality in the candidates for political office. How sad. In these difficult and troubling times, God has promised us His wisdom so we can understand our world from God’s perspective.

My Takeaway: The wisdom God wants for me, and you, is His wisdom on how we can be a witness for Christ Jesus. I don’t have to look far for an answer as the number of prayer requests I receive is growing weekly. The more I seek God’s wisdom, the more I find I am staying in His grace for each day.

(Selah is a word that appears in the Book of Psalms that I often use as the Complimentary Closing in my correspondence. Its meaning, as I use the word, is to pause and think about these things.)
