Trials Of Any Kind

James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes in the Dispersion: Greetings.

My brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of any kind, consider it nothing but joy, because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance; and let endurance have its full effect, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking in nothing.

If any of you is lacking in wisdom, ask God, who gives to all generously and ungrudgingly, and it will be given you. But ask in faith, never doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind; for the doubter, being double-minded and unstable in every way, must not expect to receive anything from the Lord.

James 1:1-8

God has promised to provide the guidance we need, if only we ask for it.

All we need is a sincere desire to follow God’s direction and faith that His way is the best way. We can always ask in faith, without ever doubting.

Our Father provides us with divine wisdom, in fact He is the only one who can provide the type of wisdom that can direct our steps each day.

Be smart – ask for God’s wisdom.
