James 1:5
5 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
Notice how this verse uses the word “wisdom” as opposed to “answers”. God provides us with wisdom, not answers. God will not lay out step-by-step instructions for us to follow. For the sake of your sanity and usefulness, stop waiting and asking for them. They ain’t comin’! The good news is, God will provide wisdom to those who faithfully ask Him. God will provide the wisdom to weigh the options, count the costs, examine the motives, anticipate the pitfalls, and project the benefits. God will also help us to make a wise choice during a time of trial that adheres to His Word.
