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. - James 1:5-6

There are many times in life when we need wisdom to make an informed decision based of the fact before us. But sometimes we don’t have all the facts and still need to move forward regardless . James shared this scripture to encourage us that God himself will provide for are very needs. The key to unlock this wisdom only comes from a place of surrender. We must acknowledge our need and dependency for Gods help and provision. Boldy we must place our faith in his ability to meet our needs without waver. Easier said than done of course and yet we have no excuses not to take advantage of his limitless offer. Scripture states that God is for us and not against us. So let us place our full hope in his ability to provide beyond what we can see. There is a powerfull song called "Oceans"by Hillsong that speaks to this scripture ( and I will call apon your name, and keep my eyes above the waves when oceans rise, my soul will rest in your 'im brace , for I am yours and you are mine ! ) May you be encouraged to boldly approach the throne of grace with confidence that you shall receive what you ask for.
