SEEKING WISDOM

JAMES 1: 5-8

5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

John Calvin:

"Since we see that The Lord does not require from us what is above our strength, but that he is ready to help us, provided we ask, let us therefore learn whenever he commands anything, to ask of him the power to perform it."

Dr. Kent Brantly:

"It is a frightening thing to know you are encountering the most deadly virus known to man. I have been called by God to serve Him with the gifts, skills and talents He has given me. And He called me to serve Him in places where the need is great and others may not be willing to go. I am confident in this calling and, therefore, I can be confident in my current circumstances."
