James has commanded his readers who lack wisdom on how to joyfully respond to trials to request it from God, the ultimate source for wisdom.

\n

James draws on the common biblical theme of God's generosity to all creatures, but particularly to His people.

\n

We discuss how the emphasis is placed on the giving attitude of God, and to the universal extent of this giving. He highlights how God's giving is pure and simple, and that He will not scold us for not already having the wisdom we request.

\n

The purpose behind bringing up this attribute of God is to motivate his readers to more prayer. If God does not hesitate to give, then we should not hesitate to pray.
