Scripture: James 1:5-11, 1 Corinthians 1:25, Matthew 6:24a, Proverbs 13:7 & Proverbs 30:7-9

Knowledge is knowing the truths of something.

Wisdom is the ability and utilization of knowledge in a beneficial way.

<ul>
 	<li>We should ASK God for wisdom (v.5).</li>
</ul>

If we ask God for wisdom, we will receive it.

<ul>
 	<li>We should ask in FAITH, without DOUBTING (v.6).</li>
</ul>

We are saved by faith alone, but this faith is not alone but evidenced by fruit.

Faith EXCLUDES doubt(VV. 6-8).

Faith is NOT double-minded (vv. 6-8).

We cannot be double-minded and flourish as believers.

Those poor are to UNDERSTAND the richness of humble circumstances (v.9).

Those rich are to RECOGNIZE the poverty of riches (VV.10-11).

Whether rich or poor or somewhere in between, we are the Lord's if we are genuine followers of Jesus, and He is indeed the Lord of our life.

It's only by the wisdom of God that we can navigate life, journeying down the path God has for us of knowing Him and making Him known.
