Thought For Today - 1/18/09

James 1:2-6 is one place you can find great instructions regarding any situation,

Count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. 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. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

In other words, sit down believing that God’s wisdom is on the way.

Stop wearing yourself out racking your brain hour after hour, searching every corner and cranny for the answer thinking, What should I do? What should I do? Oh, I just don’t know what to do.

You don’t know what to do, so stop talking to yourself about it and start talking to God instead. Say, “Lord, what do You want me to do about this problem?” That is a question God will always answer if we ask it in faith. He will show us what to do in every test and trial – even those we brought on ourselves by our own foolishness.

Much love,
Joseph
