Stop Wavering

“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.”  (James 1:6)

How strong is our faith? As we live from day to day, we face circumstances and choices. If our faith is strong, we can withstand almost anything the devil hurls at us. However, there are times when our faith is weak, we doubt. That uncertainty makes us forget the One Who is our “refuge and strength.” If our relationship with God is what it ought to be, we should learn to trust Him more. We want to reason things out so what doesn’t seem logical; we start to doubt God can fix the problem or need. In times past, God has answered prayer and even worked miracles in our lives but, we forget and we “waver.” We forget God is only a prayer away and stands ready to help.

We must take whatever we are facing to Him. Whether we think it too great or small, God can handle it all. He’s proven His faithfulness many times. Even when we are facing a crisis or tragedy, God is there with us. We may feel the storm rage, but to doubt whether God can calm it only makes the storm worse. Stop wavering. Don’t let doubt be the obstacle that blocks Him from view.  We should turn our doubts over to Him any time of the day or night as He gently whispers to us, “peace be still.”
