"God Knows" by Matt Hastings
James 1:1 From: Ya‘akov, a slave of God and of the Lord Yeshua the Messiah
To: The Twelve Tribes in the Diaspora:
Shalom!
2 Regard it all as joy, my brothers, when you face various kinds of temptations; 3 for you know that the testing of your trust produces perseverance. 4 But let perseverance do its complete work; so that you may be complete and whole, lacking in nothing. 5 Now if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives to all generously and without reproach; and it will be given to him. 6 But let him ask in trust, doubting nothing; for the doubter is like a wave in the sea being tossed and driven by the wind. 7 Indeed that person should not think that he will receive anything from the Lord, 8 because he is double-minded, unstable in all his ways.
9 Let the brother in humble circumstances boast about his high position. 10 But let the rich brother boast about his being humbled; since, like a wildflower, he will pass away. 11 For just as the sun rises with the sharav and dries up the plant, so that its flower falls off and its beauty is destroyed, so too the rich person going about his business will wither away.
12 How blessed is the man who perseveres through temptation! For after he has passed the test, he will receive as his crown the Life which God has promised to those who love him. 13 No one being tempted should say, “I am being tempted by God.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, and God himself tempts no one. 14 Rather, each person is being tempted whenever he is being dragged off and enticed by the bait of his own desire. 15 Then, having conceived, the desire gives birth to sin; and when sin is fully grown, it gives birth to death. 16 Don’t delude yourselves, my dear brothers.
17 Every good act of giving and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father who made the heavenly lights; with him there is neither variation nor darkness caused by turning.

Do you know someone who knows everything? I have a friend who appears to be an expert in every field. It’s tough to be in a conversation with him about anything without hearing, “I know, I know!” He seems to have an answer for everything. You would think that he would be incredibly successful in everything he does. Well, guess what? His life is always in crisis! He struggles in every area–job, family, and faith. There’s a difference between knowing and doing.
It makes absolutely no difference if you know what is right, yet still choose incorrectly. Wisdom comes by working and living out the disciplines we learn, by putting them into practice.
The smartest people I know are the ones who say, “I don’t know” or “I’m not sure.” They seek guidance from mentors and friends. They recognize their own limitations.
Seek God’s guidance through prayer and find comfort in His ways.

1. Holy Spirit my heart yearns for Thee
Holy Spirit abide in me
make me clean oh make me pure
I must know the double cure
Refrain:
Holy Spirit, be my Guide;
Holy Spirit, my heart’s open wide.
Make me to know Thy will divine;
Holy Spirit, be Thou mine.
2. Ne'er my trust will be in vain
nought to lose and all to gain
take my life, my self. my soul
burn the chaff and make me whole
Refrain:
Holy Spirit, be my Guide;
Holy Spirit, my heart’s open wide.
Make me to know Thy will divine;
Holy Spirit, be Thou mine.

Thought of the Day: Proverbs 15:33 The discipline of wisdom is fear of Adonai,
so before being honored, a person must be humble.
