Ask God
Read James 1:5
God's Word to Them...
The early Christians lived during a time of religious free-for-all. Idol worship was common, and perversion of every kind took place in the names of various gods. These behaviors were such a common part of their society that these young Christians sometimes had difficulty recognizing them as wrong.
These new converts faced heavy persecution because of their faith in Christ. Lacking wisdom, they didn’t know how to handle many of these situations. How should they handle persecution? How should they respond to the paganism all around them? James told them to ask God. He would provide them with wisdom and direction.
God's Word to Us...
Do you ever feel like you are stumbling in the dark? Do you ever wish God would just place a big neon arrow in the sky, telling you which way to go? This verse tells us that all we have to do is ask! God is not playing some hide-and-seek game with us, withholding His wisdom and passing it out to a select few. He will pour out His wisdom on any and all who seek Him through prayer and reading His Word. He has given us the ultimate treasure-box in the Bible. On top of that, He has sent the Holy Spirit as a guide.
No matter your situation, no matter what mistakes you have made in the past, God wants you to seek Him for answers to life’s questions. He is the light. His Word is the road map. Follow Him.
