WISDOM

Why does it seem like we always want everything EXCEPT what God has for us and wants to give us? We devote our prayers to asking God for stuff; money, a job, a car, a house, a spouse. Yet, we fail to ask God for the one thing He said He will generously give us, WISDOM (James 1:5).  Most likely because we don’t see how wisdom can benefit us, at least in an immediate, tangible way.  But this is far from the truth. Not only can wisdom benefit us in the present, but also in the future. For how many times have we made a decision that we suffered the consequences for immediately, and suffered years later.  Or how many times have we made a wise decision that we reap the benefits from years later, like saved money that helped pay for an unexpected emergency.
