Ask in faith

"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. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways". (James 1:6-8 KJV). Ask in faith! God the Father is willing to give to His children wisdom, a greater knowledge of the Word of God, and a deeper intimacy with Him. Just ask! However, we must ask in the right way, without doubting or for selfish reasons. A double minded man is a wavering man in his mind, thoughts, and intentions, and he is not to be trusted. He is unstable, and he continues to veer from one course to another, showing lack of control. There's no doubt that this man has good intentions, but he is pulled by every wind and tossed to and fro by every wave. A person cannot receive from the Lord this way because their faith is not in the Lord alone but in other things. One cannot serve two masters. This produces instability of faith, which cannot honor God. Put Jesus first, above your life and everything that surrounds you. He makes it clear that we should ask, seek, and knock. He is willing and able to do His part. Are we willing and able to do ours? God bless you. Amen
