A Double-Minded Man

There is a danger of being double-minded which leads to doubt. You find your prayers are hindered from receiving God's good gifts. Doubt arises from thoughts that cause you to be double-minded. It is one of the greatest hindrances in your relationship with God.

Doubt gets you nowhere. You can't walk in two different directions at the same time. You may walk in one direction and change your mind to walk in the opposite direction. Such doubt leads to frustration and defeat. Doubt is simply a reluctance to trust God's promises completely.

Are there any doubts which rob you of God's best in life? Doubt is a choice. But, it is much more. It is an unwillingness to place confidence in the trustworthy promises of God. When you look at doubt that way, then you can sincerely confess it as sin. Establish a no tolerance policy with doubt. Choose to trust the promises of God and leave doubt behind you.

"For let not that man suppose 
that he will receive anything from God.
He is a double-minded man, 
unstable in all his ways."

James 1:7-8
