Wisdom

Jas 1:2  Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials,
Jas 1:3  knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
Jas 1:4  And let endurance have its perfect result, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
Jas 1:5  But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all men generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
Jas 1:6  But let him ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. 
Jas 1:7  For let not that man expect that he will receive anything from the Lord, 
Jas 1:8  being a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

True wisdom is found in Christ alone:

Col 2:2  that their hearts may be encouraged, having been knit together in love, and attaining to all the wealth that comes from the full assurance of understanding, resulting in a true knowledge of God's mystery, that is, Christ Himself,
Col 2:3  in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
Col 2:4  I say this in order that no one may delude you with persuasive argument.
Col 2:5  For even though I am absent in body, nevertheless I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your good discipline and the stability of your faith in Christ.
Col 2:6  As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him,
Col 2:7  having been firmly rooted and now being built up in Him and established in your faith, just as you were instructed, and overflowing with gratitude.
Col 2:8  See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ. 
Col 2:9  For in Him all the fulness of Deity dwells in bodily form,
Col 2:10  and in Him you have been made complete, and He is the head over all rule and authority;
