But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him. ~James 1:5
I’ve been thinking about wisdom.
I heard it said that wisdom is the only specific thing the bible guarantees we’ll get if we pray for it.
Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. ~Matthew 7:7-8
Prosperity gospel would say name it and claim it about anything, and Jesus did also say *IF* you believe you’ll get what you pray for.
If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer. ~Matthew 21:22
And then there’s the whole want versus need thing, daily bread versus a lifetime’s worth, yada yada, et cetera, et cetera.
I have too much snot in my head from the spring pollenpalooza to think about it all for very long. I’ll just make the pray for wisdom.
Maybe for good oxygen saturation and sufficient coffee to focus, too.
Cheers.
A couple ragamuffiny items to share …
The True Tunes podcast recently put together a lengthy but oh-so-good two-part episode featuring a “lost” interview with Rich Mullins. The host talks with quite a few people who knew Rich as well. It’s a must listen. Here’s a link to Part 1.
And the really big news … God’s Fool is now available for free on YouTube. Grab some popcorn and go watch ASAP.
