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. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
– James 1:5-8
These verses are a powerful reminder that God gives wisdom generously to those who ask in steady faith, and that wavering leaves us unsettled. They call us to seek God for wisdom with steady faith. It reminds us that God gives generously to those who ask without doubting, and it warns against being pulled every which way by fear or indecision. Prayer and action works.
