Seed for May 7

James 1:5-8
5 If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.
6 But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.
7 That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord;
8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does.
(NIV)

What does “Double-minded” mean? Wishy washy. Leaning one way and then the other. Unstable thinking. We are to let that kind of person know that he will not receive anything from the Lord.

What does it take then to get prayers answered? Faith! Faith is believing in the invisible, unseen. Faith is trusting without seeing. Faith is leaning all our understanding and weight upon Him without wavering. Faith speaks of those things that are not, as though they already are. “Abraham you will be the father of many Nations”.

When we served the Lord we become as little children in faith. We trust and believe Him to provide the best for us in all situations. Often we get ourselves in a “tight” by our “independent” actions and then God has to “bail” us out. He is faithful, but we must trust and believe He is leading, guiding and providing, even in the hard times! Be blessed.
