Daily Reading:<\/strong> Ezekiel 35:1-36:38 ESV<\/a>, James 1:1-18 ESV<\/a>, Psalm 116:1-19 ESV<\/a>, Proverbs 27:23-27 ESV<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daily Verse: <\/strong>\u201cBut let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts<\/em> is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.\u201d (James 1:6 ESV<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DIAKRINO (1252): <\/strong>\u201cIs rendered \u201cto waver.\u201d[1]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To waver.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

James ranks as one of my top five favorite New Testament books.  Not holding back, the author gives good guidance for following Jesus.  And James would know since he grew up with Christ, sharing the same mother.  When James tells us to have faith without doubting, we should listen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But we don\u2019t.\u00a0 Everyone doubts, including myself.\u00a0 We waver between two opinions; God can\/can\u2019t meet our requests.\u00a0 God can and will answer our prayers, but He might not respond as we desire.\u00a0 Sometimes God says no, or not now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stand firm.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trust God will answer your prayers, one way or another.  Believe God\u2019s promises about you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
