James 1:5 – Ask God For Wisdom

James 1:5 – Ask God For Wisdom

This Week’s Theme: Ask

August 15, 2018

If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

James 1:5

Thought For Today

When you are facing trying times, and you need help, ask God for wisdom. Sometimes God delivers His own from difficulties, but He often uses these trials for deep purposes in our life. Feel free to pray for deliverance but try this too. Ask Him for wisdom in trials. Seek to understand all the things you can learn from the experience you are facing today. And remember, when you need wisdom you should first go to the source of all wisdom, and He is waiting to pass out wisdom liberally.

Matthew 7:7 – Ask, Seek, Knock

Matthew 7:7 – Ask, Seek, Knock

This Week’s Theme: Ask

August 13, 2018

Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

Matthew 7:7

Thought For Today

If you want to be rich in God’s grace, become like a beggar in your habits of asking. Ask Him. 

Ask for the things you need. Ask for guidance like a lost traveler, ask for the provisions like a poor beggar, ask for wisdom like the person who is clueless about what to do next. 

Seek Him as if you were seeking for a lost treasure.
Knock on His door as a person who needs to talk to his best friend.

Ask, seek, and knock.

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;

Philippians 4:6

Thought For Today

Worry can overcome you in times of need if you allow it. Try this instead. Don’t worry but pray and ask God to meet your needs. Begin focusing each day on things to thank Him for that He has done for you and ways He has already provided. Be bold in bringing your needs to Him in prayer but continue to focus more on HIs power and provision and less on the problems of life.
