Double Minded: Coming Or Going?

“A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.”
James 1:8

What do you want?

It seems like a simple question. Yet, we scramble for answers in our lives. Just like this cat here, we often don’t know “whether we’re coming or going.”

We often give lip service to proclaiming our desire for happiness, peace and health. But are we backing these aspirations up with our desires, let alone, actions? Achieving these wonderful goals is possible; however, we need to focus on them- and not in a self-destructive way. If there is any confusion in our pursuit of them, it is not from God.

“For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.”
1 Corinthians 14:33



So, what do we do if we’re going in every direction at once, but going nowhere at the same time? Pray.

“Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.”
John 16:24


God has promised to help us, to guide us:

“Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, This is the way, walk in it, whenever you turn to the right hand, and whenever turn to the left.’”
Isaiah 30:21

“I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go: I will guide you with My eye.”
Psalm 32:8



We don’t need to be in a vicious cycle. But we need to settle in our minds what we want; and, we need to focus on God to help us GET there!
