Devotional: James 1:5-8

Today’s passage: James 1:5-8

Helpful thoughts:

  • Christians are encouraged to ask for wisdom knowing that God may use a trial to work it out in their life!
  • Doubting, a lack of faith, makes difficulties ineffective.  Therefore, God will withhold a trial from a believer who asks if He knows they are not ready.
  • God gives good things (Like wisdom) to us generously!  He is not stingy toward us in things that are good.

Questions to consider:

  1. Why does the idea of asking for things, knowing that a trial may come as a result, sound so radical?  What does it take to think this asking is a good idea in the first place?
  2. What are the kinds of things this passage is referring to?  What “things” is God giving?  What kinds of “things” is this passage not talking about?
  3. In what ways does this passage reaffirm the kindness and goodness of God to His children?
