Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,[a] whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 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. But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.(James 1:2-6)
With so many sources for knowledge and information in this day, we often forget THE Source! Knowing, respecting, and living for Christ isthe foundation of any knowledge at all. (Proverbs 1:7) What good does it do to have all knowledge and not know God? What real good can come from that?
So many of us today claim to know the Lord and have a personal relationship with Him yet we still rely more upon the world for all the answers . . . politics, business, the universities. James is clear: if we have questions . . . if we lack information, GOD should be our first source of information!
Why do we first go to others for answers to this world when we know the CREATOR of this world personally? Sometimes we Christians can be so ridiculous! Let's change this today!
