Wisdom

1 Kings 3:9-10 “‘Give your servant therefore an understanding mind to govern your people, that I may discern between good and evil, for who is able to govern this your great people?’ It pleased the Lord that Solomon had asked this.”

James 1:5 “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.”

“If you lack wisdom, you’re commanded to ask God for it.  Wisdom is never withheld from a believer who needs it and asks for it as he perseveres through a trial.  Isn’t that a wonderful promise?  Sometimes we don’t ask; we do everything but ask God.  We ought to be on our knees crying out from our hearts for God to give us His direction.” ~John MacArthur (Truth for Today, pg. 315)
