“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.” (James 1:5-6)
Who among us does not lack wisdom in
some area? Of course, you know that when the scriptures say men it means
mankind. I make no apologies for the lack of gender sensitivity. Asking “in
faith nothing wavering” does not mean that you could perform feats of magic if
you had faith and did not allow it to waver. It means instead that you use
faith when asking the Holy Spirit that a thing is right. If the Spirit wavers,
then this is not something that is approved of and even if you succeed in
making it happen it was not by the Spirit. If instead by the Spirit, you know a
thing is right, then nothing can stop it from happening if you have faith.
