James 1:5 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.
II. The Wisdom Of His Name When the Scriptures refer to Jesus as a "wonderful" counselor, it doesn t just mean that he s good at giving advice. It means that he understands things which are beyond the ability of our finite minds to comprehend. He knows things which only God can know. He knows the ways of God; He understands God s plans and purposes. His knowledge, and intelligence, and wisdom, and insight far exceed that of any man who ever lived. So in Jesus Christ, we have someone who, by virtue of his great knowledge and understanding, is abundantly qualified to guide and direct our lives, Someone who is never confused or mistaken, Someone who always knows exactly what to do, Someone who will never lead us astray.
