Daily Purity~ Holiness Living Series: Book of James~Unwavering Faith James 1:5-8

James 1:5-8 "...If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall recieve anything of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

Greetings World,
I pray all is well with you. After reading this scripture I wanted to share just a little with you.

(5)We must first know that the 'wisdom' that James is talking about is not only knowledge by the ability to make wise decisions in difficult circumstances. Wisdom is practical discernment. Wisdom itself begins with respect for God, leads to living right and results to increased ability to tell right from wrong. If we need wisdom, we must know that we can only obtain Godly wisdom from God. God is willing to give us this wisdom; but we wont recieve this wisdom if our goals that we have set are self-centered instead of God-centered. Make sure your goals are centered upon God, and His will for your life. You will gain the will for your life through the reading of God's word. It is the light that will lead you in the right direction.
(6) Know that God does not grant every selfish or throughtless request that we make. To 'ask in faith' means to ask God with confidence. And not just boldness but the confidence that will align our desires with his purposes. Also know that a mind that wavers is not completely convinced that God's way is the best way. A mind that wavers treats God's word like an opinion or human advice. A mind that wavers vacillates between feelings, the world's ideas and God's commands. In order to stabalize a wavering or doubtful mind, one must wholeheartedly submit their lives to God. A process of surrendering to him. Submit your life to him and allow your wavering thoughts to be solely submitted unto God.
(6-8) If you have ever seen the constant rolling of huge waves at sea, you know how restless they are. The waves are subject to the forces of wind, gravity and the tide. Doubt leaves one as unsettled as the restless waves at sea. If you want to stop being tossed around, you must rely on God to reveal to you what is best for you and your life. Ask Him for wisdom, without wavering, and trust He will supply it for you. Then, and only then, will your decisions and thoughts be sure.

Closing Prayer
Father, we ask you Lord to first forgive us of our sins. Cleanse us of any unrighteousness and help yeild our lives over to you. God we commit our lives wholeheartedly to you so that you can restructure our minds. Lord, forgive us for wavering when coming to you for something. Help us to have our minds focused on you. We desire wisdom within our hearts, so that we make correct decisions and make the right choices. And we pray father that our desires for this life will align with your purposes, your will for our life. For your will is what and all we desire for our lives.
And we thank you Lord because we once were lost, but now are we found. We were blind, but you gave us sight, and we did walk in death, but now we walk in newness of life, and we thank you.
In Jesus' name, Amen!
