Asking God for wisdom is huge. Imagine God appearing to you in the night and saying: “Ask what I shall give you.” This actually happened to King Solomon (2 Chron.1:7). Solomon’s BIG ASK was: “Give me now wisdom and knowledge to go out and come in before this people, for who can govern this people of yours, which is so great?”
This wisdom would allow Solomon to know God’s will and do it. Solomon would have insight to the practical application of God’s truth to any given situation. He would automatically be able to perceive the true nature of a situation and implement God’s will into that situation.
Friend, are you ready for the BIG ASK? James, the brother of Christ, tells us to ask God for this wisdom, “who gives generously to all without reproach” (Js.1:5). But he says, “let him ask in faith, with no doubting” (Js.1:6).
Your BIG ASK will result in nine great changes to your life: “17 But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere. 18 And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace” (Js.3:17–18 ESV).
