       James says we need to be open-minded and faith-filled. I have found that God has delivered wisdom to me through books, secular televisions shows, talk shows, driving down the road, and yes, of course, other people in my life. The reality is, wisdom can come from pretty much anywhere. But God gears it toward our situation so that we hear, or see, exactly what we need to—that which enlightens us to help us with our situations, whether it is a trial or not. And the beautiful thing is, James also tells us that it is God’s delight to give us this knowledge. He wants us to be wise and thus successful. He wants us to have success at whatever it is we are setting out to succeed in. God loves it when we thrive, not when we dive. Ah, but doubting can be a problem for some. James says, “for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways” (6-8 (ESV).
