| Reflections from a hurting heart... DOUBLE-MINDEDNESS There are facets to double-mindedness. “Double-mindedness” may be defined as “unsure, unconvinced, having mixed emotions, unsettled, unstable, wavering.” It may manifest as moodiness, distrust, unreliability, ups and downs, running to and fro, hither and tither, indecisive. Trust In God When your faith/trust in God wavers----you trust Him; then you don’t. Some are unsure they want to be a Christian. Trust In People Trust in people wavers----when perhaps their actions and/or words waver between kindness and loving, mocking and belittling; and you allow their behavior (or your perception of it) to throw you off course. You are impacted, effected negatively by what others do or say. You begin protecting yourself---walling off. Could this be linked to “people pleasing?” People often only see externally----our outward appearance. They don’t even really know us but think they do. So they judge by what they see and not by the Spirit of God. Admonishment Keep your eyes on Jesus! Ask Him to help you! Don’t look at or to men for comfort, safety, even friendship. Don’t look to the left or to the right; but (fix your eyes on) press into the mark of the high-calling in Christ Jesus. (See Hebrews 12:22; Philippians 3:14.) Always and routinely look up; look to Jesus----look up, for your salvation draweth nigh. (See Luke 21:28.) Finally, …judge not (others), lest ye be judged. (See Matthew 7:1-3.) Pray for me. Let's pray for one another. -------------------------------- Other scripture references: No man can serve two masters… (See Matthew 6:24.) …A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways. (See James 1:8.)  |
