Seeking the wisdom of God

James 1:2-6

“My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. If 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. 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.”

Still talking about seeking the wisdom of God as you endeavor to live a life of faith, I want you to see that Jesus alluded to this when He was talking about the end times.

“Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? Blessed

is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.” Matthew 24:45-47

Who does the Master make have rule over His household? The servant that is faith – full and wise, it is going to take a combination of the two to make you rule over situations and circumstances in these days. 

We also see this in the life of David when he was to fight the Philistines, two times in the same chapter, we see him use two different strategies or rather I should say God instructed him to use two different strategies. This is what I mean by asking God for insight in a given situation. Living by faith is not a legalistic way of living; it is a dynamic way of living because it is of the Spirit.
