Drowning in Doubt
“…ask of God, that giveth to all…ask in faith, nothing wavering…For let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.”
Like Peter of old, once you ask the Lord for something, and he gives His nod of approval, don’t turn to look at the circumstances. If you do, you, too, will be tossed to and fro with every wave, and begin to sink (James 1:6; cp. Matt.14: 24,30).
An on-again-off-again faith always ends up a shipwrecked faith. When we are in such a sad spiritual condition, we are told we need not even think about getting anything from the Lord. Once we have ascertained a thing to be the will of God for our lives, we need to commit it to the Lord and see it through, at all costs. You know, like a marriage. Ride it through, for better or for worse. And with this kind of faith, I can guarantee, at the end of the day, the results will always be for the better.
