Wisdom has been around for longer than we can even imagine. It was used to create the earth, its surrounding stars and planets, its ecosystem, plants and animals, and humans. We are told in many places where it comes from such as Jas 1:5 we are told... If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.
To receive this wisdom, there are conditions to be met, here is one: (Jas 1:6) But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, and there is a reason. If you have no faith which is being convicted of something that is true because of evidence and testing for yourself, then you will be... "for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind."
If the condition of faith is not met according to the one who made the condition then, "that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways." (Jas 1:7-8)
Wisdom is lacking in many ways today. To get this wisdom, we must ask for it, believe it will come, and take action to prepare ourselves to receive it when it shows up. Paul wrote it like this: "By whom (the Lord) also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; (Rom 5:2-5)
Ask for wisdom, seek it out, and apply it to your life so you and your environment will become better.
Have a blessed day.
