Serious business? Definitely so. We are either for God, or we are against Him. It's one or the other in every decision we make throughout the day.
So when James 1:5-8 says,
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 unsettled 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.
Hard-hitting stuff that we might not wanna hear. But it's truth. You know, the ministries we are involved in- are you personally in them to receive any glory to yourself or recognition or status or even... yikes... money? Even a little bit?
These verses tell us that if we are in it for anything but, we should expect nothing from God.
I don't know about you, kids, but this is always one of those verses, like James 1:19-27 (about being slow to speak, anger, etc.) that we could remind ourselves of daily.
By grace only, Tara K
