The Wisdom of God

Trials in our life can cause to not know how to react, or how to get through the trial. James tells us that God
will supply the wisdom we need to persevere through those trials. To receive the wisdom from God, however,
we need to be part of His family. If we are not born again, we will not persevere in the trial, nor our life.
