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. James 1:7 (NKJV)
While under pressure, I made a choice listening to the wrong voice. I have never experienced such strife and confusion in my life. I have made wrong choices before, but let me tell you this was no fun. I made this choice knowing it was wrong, but I tried to find excuses to make it right. Talk about being double-minded!
Knowing I had no one to blame but myself, I got into the Word and cried out to the Lord. I didn’t know how to wait and be still, so I decided to move. I felt like I was running, but I had nowhere to run. One day I was thanking and praising, the next I was crying and cursing my choices. More double-mindedness!
Finally, I admitted I was wrong about the choice I had made. I confessed it and released it. Immediately, everything seemed back in place in my mind, spirit and soul. There is nothing like staying focused on God.
Is there an area of your life you need to surrender to Him today? Are you single-mindedly focused on His will for your life?
