Day 1
James has written that God stands ready and willing to give away wisdom—for free and without finding fault—to all who ask Him for it. But they must ask believing that God is trustworthy to give wisdom. They must be ready to act on the wisdom He gives.
However, those who see God's way as only one of many options will spend their lives being driven back and forth by whatever wind blows strongest. A person who comes to God, asking for wisdom, but without faith—continuing to shop around for sources of wisdom contrary to God—will be like a wave tossed around by the wind.
Here, in verse 7, James makes it clear that the faithless person shouldn't expect to receive any wisdom from God. God cares deeply that His children, believers in Jesus, will trust Him exclusively. He has no interest in being one booth we visit in the marketplace of theological ideas. He wants to be our first and final stop. If we don't trust Him exclusively, we will receive no wisdom from Him, at all.
God needs to be the center of our life. We have to have the courage and confidence to ask God for what we want. We also have to believe it and have child-like faith. You remember when you were a kid and you believed you were a superhero, doctor, singer or professional sports player? You really believed it and lived it. Where is that child-like faith? What are these gifts you need to spend more time working on? Seek progress and not perfection. The gifts are inside of you. They are God sent. Remove the glass ceiling and live out your legacy.
Prayer of the Day: God, thank You for being my strength and my defense. You are always reliable and Your promises to me are always secure. I have nothing to fear because You are with me. You protect me, strengthen me, and go before me. You are all I need because You are my salvation. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
