James 4:2 (KJV) Ask

James 4:2 (KJV)
Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.

There is so much more in this passage than just “ye have not because ye ask not” but the lesson here is, we need to ask.

• In some cases, we must ask others
• In all cases, we must ask the Lord

Ask in submission
Vs 7

Ask in humility
Vs 10

Ask in charity
Vs 11

Ask in awareness of the brevity of life
Vs 13-14

Ask is deference to the Lord’s will
Vs 15

Ask with the intention of doing good
Vs 17

But ask. 
“Ye have not because ye ask not.”
