(NASB)\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/category\/bits-of-torah-truths\/\u00a0\">https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/category\/bits-of-torah-truths\/\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This concept <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>\u201cLet One who lacks, ask for wisdom\u201d<\/em><\/span> (James 1:5) is a beautiful example of the deep theology from the Torah and broader Hebrew wisdom tradition. While James 1:5 explicitly encourages the one who lacks wisdom to ask God, the Torah lays the groundwork for this idea in both principle and precedent. Here are several key Torah themes and passages that resonate with James 1:5: Moses\u2019 Prayer for Wisdom (Exodus\u00a033:13). Here Moses asks not for power, but for understanding of God\u2019s ways\u2014a request for divine wisdom. This aligns with James\u2019 emphasis on seeking wisdom from God in faith. In Deuteronomy 4:5\u20136 we read Wisdom as Covenant Obedience, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>\u201cSee, I have taught you statutes and rules&#8230; for that will be your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples&#8230;\u201d<\/em><\/span> Here, the Torah itself is framed as wisdom\u2014living by God\u2019s instruction is the path to discernment. The implication: if one lacks wisdom, one should turn to God\u2019s revealed instruction. Numbers\u00a027:15\u201317 Moses Prays for a Wise Successor. Moses asks God to appoint a leader with discernment to guide the people\u2014again, wisdom is sought from God, not assumed. Note also Solomon\u2019s Request for Wisdom (1 Kings 3:5\u201312) and how God generously provides for him this request. We note how James 1:5 reflects a deeply Hebraic idea, that wisdom is not self-generated\u2014it is relational and bestowed by God. So, James isn\u2019t introducing a new idea\u2014he\u2019s reframing a Torah principle in the language of discipleship and prayer. This is how the NT and James taught Torah, the Torah has not passed away!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bits of Torah Truths &#8211; Torah Concept in the NT:Let One Who Lacks, Ask for wisdom &#8211; Episode 559 James 1:5 \u05d0\u05b4\u05d9\u05e9\u05c1 \u05de\u05b4\u05db\u05b6\u05bc\u05dd \u05d0\u05b4\u05dd \u05d9\u05b6\u05d7\u05b0\u05e1\u05b7\u05e8 \u05d7\u05b8\u05db\u05b0\u05de\u05b8\u05d4, \u05d9\u05b0\u05d1\u05b7\u05e7\u05b5\u05bc\u05e9\u05c1 \u05de\u05b5\u05d0\u05b1\u05dc\u05b9\u05d4\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd \u05d4\u05b7\u05e0\u05bc\u05d5\u05b9\u05ea\u05b5\u05df \u05dc\u05b7\u05db\u05b9\u05bc\u05dc \u05d1\u05b4\u05bc\u05e0\u05b0\u05d3\u05b4\u05d9\u05d1\u05d5\u05bc\u05ea \u05d5\u05bc\u05d1\u05b0\u05dc\u05b9\u05d0 \u05d2\u05b0\u05bc\u05e2\u05b8\u05e8\u05b8\u05d4, \u05d5\u05b0\u05ea\u05b4\u05e0\u05b8\u05bc\u05ea\u05b5\u05df \u05dc\u05d5\u05b9.\u00a0 #torah\u00a0#torahwisdom\u00a0#torahtruth\u00a0#torahforlife\u00a0#torah4you\u00a0#torahtruth\u00a0 James 1:5 1:5 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":23782,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[48,34],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-23780","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-bits-of-torah-truths","8":"category-video"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23780","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23780"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23780\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23781,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23780\/revisions\/23781"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23782"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23780"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23780"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23780"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
