1:5-8 Why is wisdom required here?
1:5-8 Why is wisdom required here?
Believers are exhorted here to pray for divine wisdom that will enable them to withstand the trials of V 2-4 (CP V 2-4 with Pr 2:6; Jas 3:13, 17).
God gives this wisdom liberally without finding fault to all who ask for it in faith, doubting nothing (CP Mt 21:22; Mk 11:22-24; 1Jn 5:14-15).
A double minded man is one who wavers all the time between faith and doubt. He is as unsettled as the restless waves, being uncertain and undecided about anything pertaining to God. He is unstable and God will not help him.
