If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind. Such people should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. Their loyalty is divided between God and the world, and they are unstable in everything they do. James 1:5-8 (NLT)
What wisdom could be needed in the face of diverse challenges other than direction that comes from God! Our world-based thinking drives us to logic and worldly counsel; and sadly we are let down, turning around to blame God. How many times we think that we know what to do, instead of turning to our generous God who is ready to give the needed wisdom without rebuking or embarrassing us? Can we change our approach and align with His ways? Ask, cease from your presumption and haste. Like never before, the words of this song speak:
In times like these you need a Savior,
In times like these you need an anchor;
Be very sure, be very sure,
Your anchor holds and grips the Solid Rock!
In times like these you need the Bible,
In times like these, O be not idle;
Be very sure, be very sure,
Your anchor holds and grips the Solid Rock!
In times like these I have a Savior,
In times like these I have an anchor;
I’m very sure, I’m very sure
My anchor holds and grips the Solid Rock!
This Rock is Jesus, Yes He’s the One,
This Rock is Jesus, the only One;
Be very sure, be very sure,
Your anchor holds and grips the Solid Rock!
Without the anchor, we get blown and are not there when the answer comes! Selah.
