If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. (James 1:5-8, KJV).

The Word of God tells us that God will give wisdom to ALL MEN. He is no respecter of persons. Therefore, anyone can receive wisdom and guidance from the Lord. The key, however, is that we must “ask in faith, nothing wavering” Since faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God, we can develop faith for wisdom and guidance by meditating the Scriptures. Let God’s Word take root in your heart. Meditate and confess these scriptures daily to build faith in your heart for guidance:
