If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith – James 1:5 (ESV)
For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, 23 but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, 24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. – 1 Corinthian 1:22-24
You don’t need five easy steps to this or seven sure-fire principles for that. You need a new heart, new character, an awakening deep within…..wise people don’t say, “Do I have to?” Their hearts are set free: “You mean I get to?” They love the things of God as satisfying to the appetites of their renewed souls. They experience what Jesus said: Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness for they shall be satisfied (Matt 5:6)” – Ray Otlund
