James 1: 5-8
#1. Ask God for wisdom
James 1: 5
Wisdom = Knowing what to do & knowing how to do it
II Timothy 3: 16-17
God’s Word gives us:
- What is right
- What is wrong
- Getting right
- Staying Right
If you want to grow in knowing what is right, you need to get more serious about knowing God’s Word, the Bible.
Do you have situations in your life where you do not know WHAT to do or HOW to do it?
God can only help those who admit they can’t help themselves.
#2. Believe God will give you the answer
I Corinthians 10: 13
Do you believe that God hears and will answer your prayers?
Our struggles:
- Is this that important to God?
- Am I that important to God?
- Does God really work like that?
- Is God really real?
- Is this too big even for God?
James 1: 6
God speaks to us through:
- His Word, the Bible
- Other people
- The Holy Spirit
- Circumstances
If we will just trust the rescuer, we will be saved.
James 1: 7
James 1: 8
Trusting God should be more and more the direction of your life.
