Don't be double minded

But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

Matthew 5:37a ...let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.'...

How you will you respond to God? Choose this day whom you will serve
1 Kings 18:21 And Elijah came to all the people, and said, “How long will you falter between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him.” But the people answered him not a word.

Joshua 24:14-15  “Now therefore, fear the Lord, serve Him in sincerity and in truth, and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the River and in Egypt. Serve the Lord! And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

Matthew 6:24 No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.

A choice between life and death

Two choices: Temporal Love or God's Eternal love
I John 2:15-17 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.

Two choices: Fear man or trust in God

The fear of man brings a snare, But whoever trusts in the Lord shall be safe.

Jeremiah 17:7 Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, And whose hope is the Lord.

Friendship with the world is enmity with God
James 4:4, 7-8 ...Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God?... Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

Indecision is also a decision
Matthew 12:30 He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad.

Take courage that God is faithful even when we're not
2 Timothy 2:13a If we are faithless, He remains faithful...
2 Corinthians 1:20 For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.

Who has the heart? With whom are our thoughts? Of whom do we love to converse? Who has our warmest affections and our best energies? If we are Christ's, our thoughts are with Him, and our sweetest thoughts are of Him. All we have and are is consecrated to Him. We long to bear His image, breathe His spirit, do His will, and please Him in all things. Steps to Christ, p. 58
