He gives Wisdom

James 1: 5, 6
5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.

  

  God loves to give. He is a Giver of all good things. Although God knows what we need, HE always expects that we ask HIM what we need and receive it, so that we can know by experience, how Good our God is. Another reason may be that whenever we ask something to someone, we acknowledge the fact that we lack something and we humble ourselves, to ask, what we lack. When we acknowledge our lacking and humbly ask God to fill us with HIS wisdom, we understand the significance of GOD'S grace. Otherwise, if God provided us with HIS wisdom even before we asked for it, we would take it for granted and will fall into pride.

  Whatever we may be in need of today, we just have to ask HIM and God will pour it out on us. For a fruitful spiritual life, we need wisdom to choose the right things, the wisdom to always trust in God, the wisdom to love God and the wisdom to know God. God specifically promises to grant wisdom - But only to the one who asks! Apart from asking, the verse says that we need to believe that we would receive what we ask for. When we ask God, God answers us from Heaven for sure and our answer starts its journey towards us, but it takes Faith (on our part) to receive that answer from God. So let us acknowledge our lacking, humble ourselves and ask God for HIS spirit of wisdom and believe with no doubt, that God will send down HIS HOLY spirit (The spirit of wisdom) who will lead us in the right way and teach us what we need to do today. Amen.
