Wisdom is the centerpiece in all of life. You need wisdom in the good times. You need wisdom in the bad times.

James 1:5 (NIV) If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. James is talking about a wisdom that helps us stick with God. Trusting that His plan is a good plan.

As you grow in wisdom, you trust God’s plan and as you trust God’s plan, you grow in wisdom. Trust God’s plan so that you don’t get tossed around. Trust God’s plan so that you don’t get tricked. Don’t be deceived.

Receiving wisdom requires humility. The humility to revere God – to fear God. The humility to submit to God. The humility to trust God.
