Spiritual Life has everything to do with the Word. The Word keeps me accountable. I've been slacking off on feeding from the Word for some time now, and it is clear to me that my heart has been hardened. I don't like who I've become away from God. The word feeds my Spiritual Life.

The promise of verse 5 is that wisdom will be generously given to anyone who asks without doubting (verse 6). When trials get real bad, I do find myself leaning on God for wisdom. I just need to ask for wisdom in every situation, not just when things get bad. I find myself trying to control things on what I consider "small stuff." I need to lean on Him in all I do.

We live in a society where people have done away with accountability. General public doesn't feel responsible for anything or to anyone. People blame God because it's easy to do. This doesn't offend anyone or anything on this earth. People "tolerate" everything that is not of God. God does not tempt; however, he allows his children to be tested. Temptation is rooted from evil. Test is from above.

It's been difficult lately to keep moving forward. I've been finding myself moving farther away from the Lord with different trials that I'm experiencing (mostly with work). I know God put me here (my work) to use me to glorify his kingdom, but I'm emotionally drained at the end of the day, and I find myself distant from my kids and my wife. It's taken its toll. This is the first time I opened my bible in over 8 months. The Enemy keeps encouraging me to stop reading. So many things are unclear. All I can do and All I need to do is to stop worrying and trust that He has GREAT plans for me and let Him take control.
