Do Not Let Circumstances Rule You
Doubt causes you to be like a wave which is driven and tossed with the wind ( James 1:6). If it feels good, then it is good. If people appreciate you, you are happy. If you experience hard times, you believe God has deserted you. If people are against you, you get depressed. This is a sure sign that your trust is based in circumstances and people, and not in the Living God and His word. You are like a wave; lacking stability, constantly dependant on external stimulation, a perpetual victim of circumstances. When someone asks you how you feel, you reply, "I'm fine, under the circumstances." In other words, the circumstances are over you and decide how you should be feeling. But God does not want you to be like this. He does not want you to be a double-minded man, unstable in all your ways (James 1:8-9). He does not want insecurity and confusion to rule all that you do and every decision you make. He wants security, stability, and single-mindedness to rule and reign in your life. How can this happen? It can never be accomplished by continuing to base your life on natural circumstances, but by connecting with supernatural and believing the Word of God. In the external, in this natural world, there is nothing firm enough for you to stand on; but in the supernatural, there is a Rock, Jesus and His Word, which is immovable and unchanging, and will give your life all the stability it will ever need.
