Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with no-holds-barred surrender:

“That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does.”
(James 1:7-8)

This warning terrifies me, Jesus.

Where in my life am I double-minded?
Where is my belief mixed with doubt?

Where am I attempting to walk two paths –

one headed upward, toward freedom and light
the other winding down, into utter darkness?

Am I a chameleon –

behaving one way around Christians
and another around those whose love is for this world?

Where am I attempting to straddle the fence

with one foot planted in the sweet-smelling grass of Your green pasture
and the other sunk deep in the dark, stinking mud of sin?

Show me!

then fill me with a holy rush of fear and righteous indignation

strong enough to extract my muddy foot from Satan’s trap

before it’s too late.
