Trials arise, and we find out how much wisdom we lack. We are to count trials with all Joy.
Where do we turn for wisdom? Verse 5 How do we turn to God for wisdom? 1. We ask God for wisdom. we are not protected by God from everything, but through trials he wants to strengthen us. We should think "I lack wisdom". We must always remember the standard is God, not other people. God gives wisdom generously. He gives to all who ask if they belong to Him. Wisdom is given without reproach. Sometimes asking is the lesson, we often need to humble ourselves and ask. We must stop relying on ourselves. v. 6-8 We need to ask in faith. We are not like those who are double minded. Trials may disorient us, but will build endurance, revealing to us our lack of wisdom. James says ask, for there is no fast track to wisdom. God is the only fountain head of wisdom and He gives all willingly.
