A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. — JAMES 1:8

We checked up on Margene’s mother and father several years later when her mother was eighty-nine years old. She still did all her housework. She had a better, clearer mind than even her daughters had! At sixty-seven, she was sitting around, out of her mind, making funny, unintelligible sounds. But at eighty-nine, she had a sharp mind and was able to function just fine.

How can you receive the best that God has for you? Well, first, be hungry and thirsty for God and His best. Resist doubt constantly. The only cure for doubt is faith in God’s Word. Act on the Word. Believe it for what it says. Act on the Word of God and receive all of its promises. There is no other way.

The Spirit of God said through James, “But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord” (James 1:6–7). Now you can have either doubt or faith. It’s up to you. You’re the one who makes that choice. Which one do you want?

Confession: I’m not a doubter. I’m a believer. I am a child of God. God is my very own Father. I am His very own child. I am born of God.
