Charles Spurgeon on Divine Wisdom - Traditional (James 1:5)

Source: Charles Spurgeon46 words

"If any lacks wisdom—and who does not?—let him ASK of God. Not buy, not earn, not discover through speculation—ASK. God gives generously and without reproach. He does not mock the asker or shame the ignorant. Ask boldly; receive abundantly." — Charles Spurgeon. Traditional: ask and receive.
