A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. (James 1:8)
When we’re double-minded, we’re not focused. We become actors playing flawless characters. Human nature is to publicly “put on” what we think is the very best version of ourselves so as not to show our true vulnerabilities and struggles. Whether it be with friends, family, at work, or even in church.
This is a fallen and prideful thinking. Jesus led by example. We have to tear down the walls and be transparent.
I waited patiently for the Lord to help me, and he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and the mire. He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along. (Psalm 40:1-2)
Many believers are still stuck in the mud.
As renewed creations in Christ, there’s no reason to bring all of the junk from our old life into our new life. We need to be impeccably self-aware. Once we identify a weakness in our life, we can then get rid of it!
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. (2 Corinthians 5:17)
If you are in the mud and mire right now, it’s time to make a change and get out.
As Christian’s, our most basic instruction is to submit to God’s will.
We constantly fall short in this area everyday, but it’s vital that we continuously push ourselves to be more like Christ in our love for others and obedience to our heavenly father.
