Doubt Versus Resolute ~ Part One

James 1:5 bids us to ask the Lord when we need wisdom to navigate through our trials. Verse 6 says, “But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.”

‘Doubting nothing’ were the exact words spoken to Peter in Acts 10:20. It means in the sense of hesitating, having misgivings, being divided in decision making, or wavering between hope and fear. 

One who is resolute is immovable, fully persuaded, purpose-driven, unchanging, no compromise, steadfast, and intentional. Daniel purposed in his heart long before he was ever placed in a compromising situation.

On the other hand, Eve took the bait when the serpent placed doubt in front of her. He questioned what God had said. When she considered his question she fell right into his trap. Doubting is a mental roller coaster ~ don’t take the hook.
