Ask God and wait upon the answer!

James 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom [to guide him through a decision or
circumstance], he is to ask of [our benevolent] God, who gives to everyone
generously and without rebuke or blame, and it will be given to him. 3:17
But the wisdom from above is first pure [morally and spiritually
undefiled], then peace-loving [courteous, considerate], gentle, reasonable
[and willing to listen], full of compassion and good fruits. It is
unwavering, without [self-righteous] hypocrisy [and self-serving guile].

There are many decisions that we make every day that we need God's wisdom
to help us in making the correct choice. At times I have gotten impatient
and went ahead and did something without clear vision and direction from
the Lord. I have heard people say that, "they know what they need to do and
God needs to get on board". There are many people in relationships, that
wanted a spouse, and did not wait on the Lord. For those that are still
waiting, I would like to share something I read. It is better to wait long
than to marry wrong. No matter what our future holds, we must ask and trust
in the one that holds the future in His hands. No matter what decision you
need to make, schooling, a job, a relationship, etc. the wisdom from above
is greater than any earthly wisdom. May we trust in the God who is from
everlasting to everlasting. Not be self serving, and ask God and wait upon
the answer.
