Today, my QT dwells on James 1:6-8
"But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does."
Do you have deep love toward Jesus? If you do, you will not have doubt in your heart when you read His Word and believe the promises that He has so graciously given us. We are partakers of His very essence and life. You will have faith.. coz whoever.. does not doubt in his heart but believes.. he will have whatever he says (Mark 11:23).
To believe and not doubt means not only believing in the existence of God, but also believing in His loving care. A mind that wavers is not completely convinced that God's way is best. It treats God's Word like any human advice and it retains the option to disobey. He does not really love God.
Imagine a young man and a young woman who love each other. One may go North and the other South, but because of their love, they will be faithful to each other; they disdain the very thought of either of them being untrue or impure. In the same way, in the measure that a person has faith in Jesus, he is true and pure.
God will be your strength in every weakness, and so when you go over to Canada for exchange, remember that the God of all grace, whose very essence is love, delights to give you liberally all life, strength and power that you need.
Love
