James 1:5-11 - If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does. The brother in humble circumstances ought to take pride in his high position. But the one who is rich should take pride in his low position, because he will pass away like a wild flower. For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its blossom falls and its beauty is destroyed. In the same way, the rich man will fade away even while he goes about his business.
Psalm 119:113 - I hate double-minded men, but I love your law.
Isaiah 40:8 - The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever."
Conclusions:
- A double-minded man is unstable in all he does
- Wisdom enables one to face trials with pure joy
- Wisdom is not just acquired information but practical insight with spiritual inclinations
- The plans and purposes of the nations will not prevail
Application:
- Are you a double-minded person?
- Do you ask God for wisdom?
- Do you believe the word of God stands forever?
