3 Bible Verses That Make Sense as You Get Older

 

Some Bible verses don't fully make sense until you've experienced life a little. Here are three that have to do with our relationships with God and people.
 
James 4:2-3
“...You do not have, because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions.”
This passage puzzled me for years. If God knows what I need, why does he wait until I ask? Conversely, when I do ask, why would he refuse something about which I’m passionate?
I understood better after we took in two foster girls, ages 10 and 12. The younger girl constantly asked for things. We were sad about how often we had to say no because so many of her requests were unwise, such as wanting candy for dinner. But before the first year was over, she figured out the types of requests we’d grant, and we were saying yes far more frequently than no.
