James 3: 17-18
Convenience. In a world that often devalues patience, because of a desire for quick-and-easy, we tend to settle for convenience. I’m not saying that convenience is a bad thing at all, but how often do we allow this need for “right here, right now” to cloud our judgment? We can find all the answers we are looking for right in our own brains, but that doesn’t necessarily mean we will find all the answers we need. True wisdom doesn’t come from what is in our heads, but it comes from an almighty and all-knowing God. True wisdom that comes from God is always necessary, but it is not always convenient. We may not find the answers we are looking for right away. We may not even get an answer that we like. What we will find, though, is a God who is patient and merciful and wise. He knows our desires and he knows our hearts. He knows everything about us. He sees the little things about us that maybe we don’t even know exist. He knows what we need, even when don’t. Our earthly wisdom is nothing compared to the true wisdom of the Father. In the loneliest of hours and times of deepest need, we should seek wisdom from God, who has always been there for us and knows exactly what to do.
For the LORD grants wisdom! From his mouth comes knowledge and understanding. He grants a treasure of common sense to the honest. He is a shield to those who walk with integrity. He guards the paths of the just and protects those who are faithful to him. Proverbs 2:6-8
