Wisdom and understanding

James 1 5 (KJV) 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.[If you humble yourself and admit you don t have enough true wisdom to understand His word He tells us to ask Him for that wisdom. He can open our minds (spiritual eyes and ears) to the understanding of His truths. See Proverbs 1 7 and all of Proverbs chapter 2 [Incline your heart to godly wisdom and try to understand seek it ask Him for it and He will give it to you]. Also see James 3 17. Upbraideth in the above verse probably means shame . He won t shame us for asking Him for wisdom. He just told us to ask Him. Also see Psalm 119 18 Proverbs 2 6 9 10 Jeremiah 33 2-3 and Colossians 2 2].True Wisdom Devout and proper prudence in daily interaction with men not disciples of Christ skill and discretion in imparting Christian truth the knowledge and practice of the requisites for godly and upright living supreme intelligence such as belongs to God to Christ the wisdom of God as evinced in forming and executing counsels in the formation and government of the world and the Scriptures.James 3 13 (KJV) Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.[It is not hard to identify a wise person with true wisdom and knowledge.
