A SHIP WITHOUT AN ANCHOR is tossed to and fro until it finally suffers irreparable damage. This is the double-minded man, wavering between faith and doubt, tormented by fear, listening to every voice that whispers in their ear, believing every wind of doctrine and cannot distinguish between a sheep, goat or wolf, constantly fluctuating; unstable. “He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.”

James‬ ‭1:8‬ ‭Being without the true wisdom, she disagrees both with herself and others; and will be perpetually running into inconsistencies of conduct. She has no settled principles; but is controlled by passion and influenced by popular feeling; who is now inclined to one opinion or course of conduct, and then to another.

Let me ask you a hard question: is your conduct inconsistent? If I asked others, would they answer a resounding “YES!”? It’s the root that determines the fruit. The double-minded is not firmly rooted. You need to check your soil and do some long needed yard work. “Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.”

James‬ ‭1:21‬ ‭”Implanted” or “engrafted” implies that the Word of God becomes one with our very nature, strengthening our root and bringing every fruit to maturation; when we receive and apply it. Turn off your tv and stop listening to every voice! Not everyone is a friend. Shut your ears to fear and the world and dive into God’s Word and apply it to your life. #runyourrace
