If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does.
James 1:5-8
Several years ago I made an investment that sounded to good to be true, but I trusted the person who was going to take care of the transaction for me. I had perfect peace about the investment because of the contact person and that I had committed it to God.
It didn't exactly work out the way it was supposed to, but I'm happy to say not a nickel was lost. I believed in the integrity of that contact person and I had prayed and committed it to the Lord.
This is exactly what James is talking about when we ask God for wisdom. If you know you are lacking wisdom but ask God for it, He will give to you the portion that you require.
Solomon was asked by God what he would like to have and Solomon answered he needed wisdom to govern the Lord's people wisely. So, not only did God increase Solomon's wisdom but added to him all the things that he had not asked for.
That is the character of the Lord Jesus Christ.
