Hi dear
Please enjoy today’s Holy Nougat and the reflection that follows
“But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all without hesitation and without reproach; and it will be given to him.” Jacob (James) 1:5 TLV
^ That’s all there is to it – pray?
* Yes. Pray.
Isn’t that how you describe speaking to me, especially when it’s a request?
^ Yes, but just pray? Shouldn’t there be more to it? Knowledge requires studying for years and years; yet I just pray for Wisdom? Sounds a bit simple
* That’s because you all make it complicated.
Wisdom isn’t just learning. It’s much-needed insights to mobilize decisions; it’s Applied knowledge; it’s knowing What to say When, How, and to Whom; and even what NOT to say. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
^ Okay. So all I do is just ask You for it? How will I know –
* If I have answered? What if you trusted me to answer and simply waited for the manifestation? Just as you do with everything else.
^ Ok. But … Okay, so –
* Exactly
^ Exactly what Lord? You finished my sentence! How did you – aaaah! You’re reminding me that you know my thoughts. Wow Lord. So when You said ‘exactly’; You were helping me to see that You DO answer. I just need to listen?
* Exactly
^ And that exactly came when I was thinking about Wisdom. Whether it’s a once and for all gift, if it’s situation specific or both.
So what did that exactly mean?
First, I said okay; then I thought about the frequency and thought about both and You said exactly. That means I can get Wisdom by asking for it in a special situation (like exams and interviews); or I could make a general request for Wisdom, like Solomon.
* Exactly. Anyone can ask for Wisdom. Few do
^ Well Lord; I have so so sooo much to do today, and I NEED Need need Your Wisdom please. Please. All day
* Already given. Just listen for My voice and you will be fine.
^ So I need to listen to You and I’ll be fine?
* You asked for Wisdom. That’s like asking My advice; so yes. Just listen for My Voice and you’ll be just fine
^ Okay Lord and th-
* You are welcome.
^ Amen
* It’s done
In Christ’s love and grace . . .
