A Resource to Ask For, Part 1

When you're out of answers and can't hang on, Chip reminds you: God is with you in your darkest circumstances, offering a resource to help.

The principle = “Don’t ask why, ask what.”

Three “what” questions survivors ask:

1. What can I control when my world falls apart?

2. What must I do to make it through today?

3. What hope do I have for tomorrow?

The answer = God’s sovereignty + goodness = He will take my worst circumstances and use them for my best if I will trust Him and not bail out of His spiritual maturity process.

I. The problem: sometimes we get “stuck” in our pain.

II. The solution: God promises help for those who are “stuck.” -Jas. 1:5-8

• God’s offer = supernatural WISDOM
• Our responsibility = to ASK
• God’s attitude when we come = OPEN & GENEROUS

III. The one condition: We receive God’s wisdom only when we “ask in faith, without any doubting.”

Conclusion: Four things you must do to get unstuck

1. Admit you’re stuck

2. Admit you can’t do it on your own

3. Ask God for supernatural wisdom

4. Be willing to do whatever God’s wisdom demands of you
