Is God Generous or Stingy?
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. James 1:5
James 1:5 tells us that if we lack wisdom, we are to ask God. Let me tell you what that literally means: If you lack wisdom, ask of the “giving” God. Have you thought of God as the “giving” God?
What does it mean to you that God yearns to pour out His blessing upon you? Do you say to yourself, “Oh goodie—let me see what I can get from God”?
Or does it humble you that the Almighty God who created the air you breathe, the ground you walk upon, and the body you are draped in … this God loves you and wants to bless you? I pray it is the latter, for that is the heart of a child of God.
