Seeking Godly wisdom
Today, every
body wants to give
us answers to all
of our problems. If
you push the remote
on the television,
you’ll find Dr. Phil
and Oprah, or you’ll
find an infomercial
for a product that is
supposed to be the
greatest thing ever
invented. Even as
Christians, some
times we get caught
up with the latest
fad.
In actuality, we have access
to the answers of life’s issues
and problems at the palm of
our hands. The question is: are
we willing to open the book of
treasures and find our answers?
My pastor, Winfred Bingham,
is doing a series of messages
in the book of James and this
week he told us about James
1:5 which says, “ If any of you
lacks wisdom, you should ask
God, who gives generously to
all without finding fault, and it
will be given to you.”
He reminded us that Godly
wisdom is found in the Word of
God. Just think about it. There
is an answer for any situation
or circumstance in which we
find ourselves. When we need
to know how to treat our fam
ily; if we need help in our job:
if we want to know how to
treat people, we can find it in
the word of God.
Many times the answer we
find in the Word is not what
the world would tell us. For
instance, when talk
ing about giving. It
would seem that the
sensible thing would
be to hold tightly
to everything we
have if we want to
get rich. That’s not
what it says in the
word of God. Luke
6:38 says, “Give,
and it will be given
to you.” So if we
want God to give
to us, we need to be
giving to others.
I’m also reminded of Mat
thew 6:14 which says,” For if
you forgive others when they
sin against you, your heav
enly Father will also forgive
you.” I know I need God to
forgive me, so I need to be
quick to forgive others.
Also, the Bible warns us
about judging others. Matthew
7:1 tells us not to judge oth
ers or we too will be judged
in the very same way. In verse
three of that same chapter, we
are reminded that while we
may see a speck of sawdust in
someone else’s eye, we’d bet
ter check out the plank in our
own eye.
My prayer is that we will
also seek to find His wisdom
in every issue that we face.
While this world and its ad
vice will pass away, the word
of God will stand f orever.
