Double-Mindedness

The last couple of Tuesday nights Ron has been teaching on the double-minded believer..Someone requested this study based on doubt in their spiritual life. Once again, we're back in James (which has become a favorite of mine)...James 1:5-8

If any of you lacks wisdom,let him ask of God, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith,with no doubting,for the one who doubts is like a wave tossed by the wind. For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man,unstable in all his ways.

As we've been going through this study it made me realize how much I've been double-minded;unstable in my life... Just in ways where I get so stressed out and I think that I can handle all the things going on in my life and not letting God do the work. It's like I'm saying "Sorry Lord, but you can't handle what I'm dealing with" ...And I doubt what he is obviously capable of doing. Or I doubt myself...I go from the New Man thinking of, "I am a marvelous and perfectly made child of God" , to old man thinking.."Wow, I suck.. Why would God ever want to use me again?" And I see what James means..It's not just doubting God but it's doubting yourself in God's plan. He's already made out the plan, and I'm doubting him in using me because I'm doubting myself. And yet Father still chose me... Certainly not because of my failures. ANOTHER key point..God doesn't see our failures..Amazing. But he chooses me because he sees my potential of faith...My potential of faith.
He sees that potential and he chooses me..Who am I gonna choose? Choose to depend on me? Or choose to depend,trust, and not doubt in HIM?
I continue to pray that I choose Him in every area of my life..and choose to be single-minded, not double-minded.
