Stability

 

But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways. – James 1.6-8

 

Doubt is a great struggle. Doubt is a human emotion. It is a part of our nature. It can be a good part of our nature because he keeps us from falling from just anything that comes our way.

 

But doubt can also be a faith wrecker if we are not careful. If we leave our doubt unchecked and don’t deal with it and learn to trust God instead of trusting our scepticism it will overrule our faith.

Then we become totally unstable and anything that comes along will knock us over and destroy and our faith can become shipwreck. The slightest little battle or setback or unexpected issue can virtually destroy us if we have no anchor and if our houses are built on sand.

 

Where do we find this stability?

 

We only find it in the word of God. Everything else is prone to failure. The word of God is our only surety.

This world is a pretty unstable place. Lets find our stability in God’s word and trust it as our rock and our anchor.
