Wisdom For the New Year

Jan '22
Introduction: Decisions, insight, choices will be needed in the New Year, 2022. Therefore, it is imperative that we get it from the right source, namely from the Lord Jesus Christ and His Word.
1. Spiritual WISDOM is needed because it is LACKING in this world!
“5If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.” (James 1:5)
Wisdom is seeing and knowing things from God’s perspective. Needless to say, we all need it! How about you?
2. Spiritual WISDOM is needed because it is LACKING in this world but only comes through the Vehicle of FAITH!
“But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.” (James 1:6)
Faith is the vehicle that rolls to our Father’s throne of Grace. Are you going to exercise faith?
3. Spiritual WISDOM is needed because it is LACKING in this world but only comes through the vehicle of FAITH from an UNDIVIDED mind & heart!
“For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. 8A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.” (James 1:7,8)
The word “double minded” is δίψυχος: (dip’-soo-khos): which means of two minds, double-minded, wavering. If our mind is divided, then we cannot think clearly nor pray intentionally.
Conclusion: WISDOM is ours for the ASKING and TRUSTING. Will you ask? Will you trust? Clear out your mind. Unclutter your heart. Commit to Jesus today.
