just ask...

now how are we going to take care of this problem of indecision? james 1:5 (ms), if you don't know what you're doing, pray to the FATHER. HE loves to help. well it says here we are to pray to the FATHER. just ask HIM.

proverbs 2:6 (niv), it is the LORD who gives wisdom, from HIM comes knowledge and understanding.

if GOD was to come to you and say, "i'm going to give you one wish. you can ask for anything in the whole world. you can have one wish." what would that wish be?

there was a guy in the old testament that GOD came to and asked him that question. GOD came to solomon and HE said, "you're the king of israel and i'm going to grant you one wish. what do you want more than anything else in life?

solomon thought about it and said, "i'm so inadequate as a leader. i don't know what to do with these people. more than anything else i want wisdom. i want to be able to think the way YOU think, to see things from YOUR point of view, be able to make decisions the way YOU would make them. i don't want to make mistakes. i don't want to have any regret when i look back on my life. i want wisdom.

and the bible said that pleased GOD and HE granted it to him, just like HE gives to us when we ask for it. HE then said, "solomon, because you asked for wisdom, i'm going to give you the other three: wealth, fame, a long life." solomon not only became the wisest man but the wealthiest man, a famous person, and he lived a long life.

if GOD came to you with the same question, what would you ask for? would you ask for wisdom? proverbs says, if you don't get anything else, get wisdom. that is how important it is to GOD and the reason we don't have it is because we don't ask for it.

well, I’m going to go to church and hear what GOD says to me through my pastor.

just some thoughts here on the front porch…
