Need wisdom? Just ask

After James 1:5-8 

Tests and trials in our lives,

what we call the bad times,

happen, driving us to seek

wisdom to know what to do.

How do we gain the wisdom

we need? It’s simple.

 

Just ask.

 

Ask in faith, ask without

doubt; doubt has no place

in your life because

you’ve left it behind

in your old life,

you dead life.

 

Just ask.

 

Wisdom will be poured,

a fountain, a fire hose, 

a river, a downpour,

because that’s who he is. 

 

Just ask.
