If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault.

James 1:5

There are seasons when a short verse can steady more than a long explanation. If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault.

God is not irritated by sincere requests for wisdom; he welcomes them. Wisdom begins when we admit our need instead of disguising it.

This verse encourages an open-handed dependence on God's counsel. Thank God specifically for the part of his character this verse reveals.
