This morning while brushing my teeth I decided to quote some memory verses (in my head, since after all, I was brushing my teeth!) in effort to be prepared to quote them with a friend this afternoon. I didn't get too far though, because I was caught up in the awesomeness and truth of the passage. Here it is:
"My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; knowing this, that the trying of you faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. 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." James 1:2-5
This was just exactly what I needed to hear this morning, since I have felt very much lately that I am lacking in both patience and wisdom...and here it is, the answers for getting them. Be joyful in trials because they bring you patience, and ask God for wisdom, because He will give it to you, without reproaching you for not having it already! Granted, easier to quote than to live out, but still, a great start to my day!
