James: book of Godly wisdom - part 6

JAMES 1:8
A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways.

Today's verse talks about a man who is double minded - another words - a man who is not true to anything at all -and James said this type of man is unstable in all his ways - God calls us to be mindful of Him and we cannot do that if our mind is given over to other things- we must give Him all we have - heart - body and mind - He is Lord of all! A double minded man is not stable at all - one day he will be doing one thing and the other something else- and he can never be trusted- he also can fall prey to any kind of false doctrine - this kind of person has no plan for his life and does not know Christ- he is unstable - and sadly these people are everywhere -in the fashion world -styles change overnight - in the pop culture of today what was great one day is bad the next -lets not be double minded -but keep our minds on the One who never changes- the Lord Jesus Christ- We must follow Him totally and not just part way - He wants followers who will take a stand for HIM in a world that does not stand for much - Lets serve one another in Love and our whole goal being praising and worshipping our Lord!

a side note: Jesus said you cannot serve two masters! What masters you - is it the LORD or the things of this world - you must choise one or the other! We must be single minded people of God!
in CHRIST our mind stays on the TRUTH!
