“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.” (James 1:5)
Blessed assurance. We can know the things of God. He gives wisdom to all who ask. He gives it abundantly! This means I don’t have to go through my days hopelessly wondering if God is for me. I know He is. I know He is working all things for my good.
I have the assurance that I can rest in Him even when the details are fuzzy. The picture is clear to Him. I just need to follow my Shepherd and trust that He is taking me along the route to greener pastures that are best for me. I don’t need to worry that the ledge is too narrow. I have the assurance that I am in His care. Nothing will harm me when the Shepherd is near. “Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.” (Hebrews 10:22) This is blessed assurance!
