James 1:6-8 - How to Be Stable in Ever-changing Winds.

James 1:6-8 (NLT) 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. 

   Have you ever made a tough choice, but 
then the moment you made the decision, you 
started doubting yourself? You agonized over it. You 
kept asking yourself if you did the right thing. 
   The Bible says when you do this youre 
like a wave pushed around in a storm. You have so 
many doubts, and you get tossed about because 
youre depending on your wisdom, not Gods. 
   This is why God wants you to ask him for 
guidance before you make a decision, and then trust 
him and his goodness once the decision is made. 
   When you do, he sets you free from 
second-guessing yourself. 
   Heres the good news: Even if the winds 
keep changing and the future looks uncertain, you 
dont have to be blown to and fro. Put your faith 
in God and God alone. 
   Otherwise, James says your loyalty will 
be divided between God and the world. In some 
translations of James 1:8, this divided loyalty is 
rendered as double-minded. This comes from a 
Greek word that means two-souled. Its about 
being pulled in opposite directions. Its about 
being indecisive, wavering back and forth. 
   James says you shouldnt expect God to 
give you his wisdom if youre constantly 
second-guessing yourself. 
   Double-mindedness creates an unstable 
spiritual life. It blocks your prayers and keeps you 
from receiving Gods wisdom. 
   God wants to give you wisdom! When you 
unequivocally trust God in uncertain times - in all times 
- he will give you everything you need to make 
wise decisions. [Daily Devotional by Rick Warren:
