Perfect Day to everyone in the Mighty Name of Jesus!
I was studying James chapter 1:6-8 today in preparation and time in the scriptures and wanted to share a powerful insight the Holy Spirit unveiled by the word and contemplation.
"...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."
Double minded literally translates to "restless & unstable"...
If we are so brutally honest with ourselves we have lost out on asking for sound wisdom in trials as the scripture says here in the word that if we lack wisdom we should ask God for it to be deposited into our spirit, but to ask in faith without wavering; in other plain speech, "do not ask in prayer from the posture of a restless mind; God cannot deposit into that sort of a mind or soul".
Our communication with God will be disrupted with we approach His presence from a restless position of mind, or mental activity or meditation.
When I read this I had a flash moment to contemplate on all of my hasty prayer approaches and had to repent for a while about it. How about you? Comment below when you can, lets seek God for that wisdom that helps us slow down where we often speed up in Jesus Name!
