James 1:8 Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.

Trying to follow someone who cannot make their mind up is pretty difficult because you are not sure which way you should be going.

Trying to understand a person who is not consistent in their approach to life is very difficult as well.

We should try to be as consistent as we can in following God and following His will in our lives.

Don’t try to please all people all the time because it will split your heart and confuse you!

Psalm 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me.

No matter how clean we want to believe that our hearts are, they are not. We have them filled with all manner of sin as we live in this world amongst the sin.

No matter how much we try to mop up dirt or water, we are left with a residue. It is only when we use chemicals or specialist tools that can get things looking clean again.

God is able to do so much more than the chemicals and tools because He can create a new heart within us that no longer attracts the sin we have lived for before.

Nothing can touch your spirit but God!

Ezekiel 36:26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.

God wants to change us from the inside by removing the heart of pride that we have and replacing it with a servant heart willing to work with Him.

If we have a heart that did not care we would be just like the animals out there, just doing stuff because that is what we do.

God gave us hearts to love one another and we need to allow that love to work from within, not block it out.

Luke 11:12 Or if he asks for an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?

No matter which way you look at this, it is just absurd. Why would anyone give a person such a horrible thing when they ask for something they need?

Why then do we doubt that God will give us something we need when we ask for it from Him?

We are people, we play jokes, we do things wrong, we are horrible at times, and yet we give people what they need if they ask; God can do so much more for us!

Don’t try to be nice to others, try to be more like Christ!
