The Bible warns against wavering faith! This is the attitude of someone who goes from feeling certain GOD will answer a prayer to merely hoping that He might or becoming convinced that He won’t!
Of course, since we’re human, we all experience periods of doubt. But, what Scripture warns against is a lifestyle of spiritual vacillation! This wavering can have many causes. We might fail to see GOD at work in a situation or worry that trusting YESHUA is a predicament that conflicts with human reasoning.
We could be focusing on circumstances rather than the LORD, which might allow our feelings to overcome faith. We can jump ahead of GOD’S timing to manipulate a situation for our own desired outcome, making the wrong decision, which can be costly!
Heb. 11:1
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Wavering is dangerous, so believers must develop confidence in the LORD. The closer we get to perfect faith while on this earth is the ability to trust that if we ask in GOD’S will, it is as good as done!
