What are you attached to?

"But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind." James 1:6 NIV

Upon returning from Houston I realized once again how important it is to be in fellowship with others that are like minded. There is something beautiful, comforting and reassuring about Believers in the Lord Jesus Christ. I realized and have learned how the Word of God speaks to each one of us on so many different levels. That God's Word truly is life and apart from it we are walking/journeying into death.

I firmly believe for me, and perhaps for you as well, that placing scripture on my heart begins the process of changing me to be more like Jesus. When I go over and over the scriptures that I am currently memorizing as well as the ones that I have memorized the last three years, I am comforted as well as convicted to God's truths.

This morning as I continued on in my journey of scripture memorization of James 1 with verse 6, I thought to myself how much it reminds me of the last couple of days here in Kansas. That my doubting is so much like the tumbleweeds that are blown here, there and yonder. BUT...if I stay ATTACHED TO THE GROUND no matter how hard the wind blows, I will not be tossed or moved. The key is staying attached, and the key to believing and not doubting is staying attached. This root system keeps us grounded or secured. The ground here for all purposes represents God, Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit....The Word of God.

Father, thank You for the ability to be in Your presence 24/7/365. That we are not like our ancestors, the Israelites, that were kept away from Your Glory. We have full access, and Lord I am one that not only thanks You for that, but asks that this access would change me. When I became Your Daughter, I also gave you access, a beautiful relationship that You initiated. By being in Your Word, I see areas of my life and heart that needs changing. I want nothing to do with being tossed here and there like the waves of the sea. Lord, I'm trusting You.

With love,
Yolanda
