What is the one thing that so many of us need these days of darkness and the worlds evil ways of deceiving of man? Why it is simply GODLY wisdom, wisdom that comes from above and not I repeat, Not of the worldly kind taught in the worlds system of education on multiple levels.
James 1:5-8, 9 "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. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted." (KJV)
James 1:5-8, 9 "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
Let the lowly brother boast in his exaltation." (ESV)
James 1:5-8, 9 The only thing we could possibly lack is wisdom. (One might sometimes feel challenged beyond the point of sanity) however, make your request in such a way that you draw directly from the [2]source (not filtered through other opinions). GOD is the origin and author of wisdom; he [1]intertwines our thoughts with good judgment. His gifts are available to all, without regret. (The word, [1, G574] haplos, is from (G1) ha, particle of union; hama , together with a + pleko, meaning to plait, braid, weave together. Look at Luke 11:34, "The eye is the lamp of the body; if the eye is single the whole body is full of light!" Entwining our eyes with Papa's eyes is what enlightens our entire being! Which is exactly what the word, [H6960] qâvâh, in Hebrew means in Isaiah 40:31, "they that entwine with the LORD'S thoughts mount up with wings like eagles!" We are wired by design to entwine! Also in Matthew 6:22, "If your eye is entwined with light your whole body will be full of light." Corinthians 1:12, Wisdom that comes from above remains unaffected by the contradictions of the senses. The word, [2, G1325] didomi, to give, to be the author or source of a thing.) Faith must prompt our requests (not our needs). Faith is the stabilizing factor; otherwise we become driven by emotions (inconsistent judgments) that get out of control like rough seas tossed by tempest winds. A haphazard request makes it impossible to interpret GOD'S wisdom accurately; (faith is the grace that reveals one's capacity to receive from GOD. The Greek word, (G3844) para, with the genitive, indicating source or origin, ["coming from"] and (G2983) lambano, to receive, to comprehend.) Someone of two opinions remains jittery in all his judgments and seems always lost for direction.
(Adverse circumstances can make or break you, depending on how you respond under pressure and allow these conditions to influence your judgment.) Let the down and out brother boast in his elevation in the LORD. (GOD'S wisdom makes us see things differently. Begin by seeing ourselves co-seated together with Christ in heavenly places! Colossians 3:1-3) (The Mirror, with editing)
In our next visit we shall repeat verse 9. Until then may the LORD reveal his truth of and concerning wisdom from above.
