DAILY READINGS: Judges 17-18; Isaiah 36 to 37:7; 1 Corinthians 14
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. James 1:5
In school, did you pray for wisdom during tests? That’s usually when I recognized my need. It’s no different in God’s school of life. The book of James combines the testing of our faith with the prayer request for wisdom (James 1:3-5). The testing of our faith casts us on the Lord to ask for wisdom. Not wisdom as to why we are being tested, but how we can grow spiritually through the test. C.H. Spurgeon said, “Faith that cannot be tested, cannot be trusted.” Let’s learn the lessons at hand and be ready for the tests. —Rex Trogdon
Trusting as the moments fly, trusting as the days go by;
Trusting Him whate’er befall, trusting Jesus, that is all. —E. P. Stites
