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.(James 1:5)
Wisdom from God is not meant to get one out of trouble, but rather to give us keen insight to better learn from difficult circumstances. God does not share more information on how to avoid pitfalls and testings, but He provides a new and different perspective on trials we face.
God's wisdom begins with a genuine reverence for Him (Psalm 111:10, Proverbs 9:10). One must possess a steadfast confidence in Him knowing God controls all circumstances. (Hebrews 11:6) God orchestrates all activities according to His good purposes for each of us, as we trust Him.
Common sense tells us to avoid tough situations and live a trouble-free life. God-sense tells us that troubles will come (Matthew 24), yet God makes a way out. (1 Corinthians 10:13)
How can one make any sense of this world . . . KNOW and TRUST the One who is in control!
