| Yesterday Afternoon's Bible Study |
"We all go through times when we just don't know what to do. We're facing something that requires more wisdom and know-how than we have. For many, YouTube has become the go-to place for knowledge of the unknown, including tips and tricks to do and fix just about anything.
While the Internet truly does have a massive wealth of useful information, there are still many things that can only be understood through the lens of God's wisdom. But we often overlook His Word--even though we're seeking answers that He could provide.
Godly wisdom comes in many different forms. Sometimes God reveals it while we're reading His Word; passages that we have read before (and may have forgotten) now seem to leap off the page to grab our attention, as if God is saying, "Look at this!" And indeed, maybe He is.
Other times, God sends people into our lives to bring His wisdom through their own personal experiences. God's wisdom is there if you know how to find it. And it often comes in the most profound ways and through the most unlikely people.
"

Like James says in this afternoon's verse, all we need to do is ask God. And that can be a humbling experience. Asking for wisdom acknowledges that we don't have the answer … but we know Who does.
James also says that God gives wisdom liberally. If we ask Him for it, God will pull out all the stops to give us that wisdom.
So when we are willing to accept God's wisdom--even if it doesn't make sense to us--then our faith in Him will grow even more.
