"If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind. Such people should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. Their loyalty is divided between God and the world, and they are unstable in everything they do."
These are powerful words for the doubter. My faith is tested with regards to parenting, finances, health, and many other things. Recently, I have experienced anxiety because of my doubting. I like to flip things around, and see what the opposite is of someone who doubts. If a person with divided loyalty is like a wave of the sea blown and tossed by the wind, someone who doesn't doubt is like a sunny beach on a quiet day. Such people should expect to receive something from the Lord. They are 100% loyal to God, and are stable in everything they do. (My paraphrase)
It is helpful for me to see this picture, because that is what I want my life to look like. The enemy of our souls wants for us to walk in anxiety. He wants us to doubt God's word is true, and he wants us to question God's promises for our lives.
Thank you, God that you give wisdom GENEROUSLY, without finding fault. Thank you that you want us to walk in peace as your dearly loved children.
