Now if Any of You Lacks Wisdom . . .
James 1:5 is a verse that has come to mean a lot to me over the years. I find myself asking God for wisdom over and over and yet, it dawned on me recently that many times I ask for wisdom, so I will be right. Hmmm. How self-serving is that? Scripture is clear that He gives to all generously and w/o criticizing . I am thankful for that promise, but really have been focusing on making sure that I am asking for wisdom for His glory, not just so I will be right. I like being right, but that is a form of pride if I am not yielding to Him. Today is tax day and that is never a fun day. I grow weary of paying so much to a entity/government that does not represent the people it says that it does. So very thankful that my hope and trust is in Christ and not any political party or leader. Scripture does not instruct government to be our source of hope and provision, but for Christ to be our all in all. That is a lesson I seem to have to learn over and over. Lots of hulla-ba-loo right now abou...
