It seems particularly in the current age that wisdom is in short supply. A few minutes viewing the evening news or Facebook or eavesdropping in a business restaurant leave us scratching our heads both over the foolishness and the tendency to share the foolishness with such public abandon.
But I must confess that I behave foolishly. I react instead of pausing to act with fore-thought. I speak sharply without considering the effect my words might have. I take an ethical shortcut when I think no one will notice -- really I am working to more closely adhere to the posted speed limit on the highway.
So I am daily in the market for a bushel basket of wisdom. I am grateful God is always willing to help me make better choices, act in better ways and be more intentional in my living. And God does this without keeping score. YEAH!!!
I can affirm with confidence and hope: GOD GIVES WISDOM WHEN I ASK.
James 1:5 But anyone who needs wisdom should ask God, whose very nature is to give to everyone without a second thought, without keeping score. Wisdom will certainly be given to those who ask.
