If James is a field manual of authentic faith lived out, it is fitting that

he wastes no time at all getting to the topic of wisdom. Wisdom is God's

will lived out. It's living out a godly life. So a life built on the wisdom

of God is a life of authentic faith. But there is a problem; we don't

always know the wise thing to do. On this side of heaven, we lack wisdom.

James gives us the solution of what to do when we lack wisdom and how we

carry that out. If you need wisdom right now in life, James 1:5-8 has a

very clear direction for you.
