Thoughts on James 1:2-7 (Wisdom & Doubt)
James says we shouldn’t doubt and if we do we shouldn’t expect to receive anything from the Lord. How does that all work?
Ron’s answer:
Without doubt we can expect to receive wisdom from God. We can be assured that God will give us needed wisdom to somehow find joy when facing many trials, which in turn help us grow and mature as we persevere through them.
My answer:
The point was asking for wisdom. We can be assured that we will receive wisdom. But, unfortunately, the context of this section would probably indicate that we may receive most of our wisdom as a result of trials. Also, we have no choice as to what trials we may receive nor do we know what they will be.
