Who Has the Wisdom?

WHO HAS THE WISDOM?
GOD!
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God,
who gives to all liberally and without reproach,
and it will be given to him.
James 1:5

WHO NEEDS THE WISDOM?
WE DO!
The answers are easy if we know the right question to ask.
God has all the answers and all the questions. We already know
that God is all knowing, but He wants us to communicate our
questions to Him. He is a detail God. Sometimes we don't know
the answers because we don't even know what questions to ask.
Many times we need to ask God, what is the question that I need
to ask you about this situation. Case in point: Once I was preparing
dinner for fifty people. I had a large amount of turkey dressing to put
into pans. The large pan that I had it in would not fit into my oven.
As I looked at the pan and two additional pans that I had before me,
I said to God; God, which of these pans should I use. There was no
answer. Then He called my attention to a pan on the table behind me.
It was not either, or of the two in front of me. I had asked the wrong
question. Now when I am stymied in a situation where I am not
receiving the information that I need to make a decision, I ask God.
God, what is the question that I need to be asking you about this
situation? You will be amazed that as you are reading this message
there is a situation in your life where you need some answers.
What is the question that you need to be asking God?
We all lack wisdom, just in different areas. The joy of the
whole situation is that God never gets angry at us for asking
questions. We get into a problem when we try to do
things on our own without asking Him for help.
ASK HIM TO GIVE YOU THE QUESTION AND THEN
ASK HIM THE QUESTION THAT HE GIVES YOU.
GOD KNOWS EVERYTHING...
THAT'S WHY HE IS GOD!
