Scripture
James 1:5-8
If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.
Observation
G1359 διακρίνω diakrinō, to make a distinction, judge a dispute; (mid./pass.) to doubt, hesitate, wave
Doubt
1 : to call into question the truth of : to be uncertain or in doubt about
2a : to lack confidence in : DISTRUST
b : to consider unlikely
Application
God works in the realm of not just plausible but also. possible. In other words, we often see Him do the impossible. The bible is full of His possibles: David and Goliath, Gideon, Jericho, Lazarus, and lets not forget Jesus! Yet, we still face times in our life when we struggle with doubt. We need to remember the God we serve. You may question what God is going to do, but never doubt what God CAN do. That is what this verse is talking about. I mean, I would much rather live in a warm cozy house, but I don’t doubt that I could survive in an igloo.
Prayer
Lord, thank that you don’t know the meaning of impossible. Please forgive me when my little brain puts limits on you. I am trying to realize, I may not know what you are going to do, but remain confident you are doing something.
~Amen
