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

Of all the things one can think to ask of God, wisdom is generally not one of them. We ask for material things, houses and lands, favor and prosperity, health and longevity. But those things have no real enduring value. Wisdom, on the other hand, does. When Solomon became King in Israel, God allowed him to ask for anything and he asked for wisdom. Consider if we were truly wise, then perhaps the things we desire would be more attainable. Today let us ask for wisdom.

Thank You Lord, for giving generously and without reproach. Today we take advantage of that generosity to ask for wisdom to operate in the various spheres we find ourselves or You have placed us, for Your glory and our welfare. Amen.
