Wisdom And Waiting

I love the Word of God and that it is living and active. It is the gift that keeps on giving.......and convicting. This morning I read a scripture (James 1:5) that I have quoted and believed hundreds of times, BUT this morning it was the 'rest of the story' that captured me. James 1:5 If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. 6 But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind. 7 Such people should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. 8 Their loyalty is divided between God and the world , and they are unstable in everything they do. Divided loyalty? Am I really seeking wisdom from God or am I trying to combine it with the information I get from the world? Am I sitting still inside and waiting for HIS answer or seeking other sources in the meantime? Ugh!
