James 1:8 declares, "A double minded man is unstable in all his ways" To stagger is to walk unsteadily, and a times it leads to a fall that may incapacitate for life. When you stagger, you fall into many things that can damn your soul. A fall into the trap and deceit of the devil will keep you at the mercy of his agents. Doubting the promises of God,His grace to sustain, His mercy and love is simply questioning Him, calling Him a liar or unreliable. For a man to know God,does not mean that He can deny His name. Abraham had every reason to doubt God's promises as a natural man but he submitted to God. He was called out to go to a city he never knew, and was promised a child. Time was fast running out on both he and Sarah,age was not there too,still the promise child did not come. The scripture says,"But against all hope "He was so resolute in faith that even against human understanding, scientific and medical evidence, he believed in Him. Abraham did not abide in his condition or admits impossibilities, neither was his hope came on reasonable expectations. Rather he dwelt on the promises of God. As a believer,to enjoy all the promised blessings, you must have the mind of Christ Jesus. Truely, the devil will try to plague your mind with doubt. You will have a test of faith. You will be victorious if only we are closer to God. Meanwhile, it is not sufficient to make a confession that you believe in Him or you are waiting on God,your conduct, behaviour and attitude to life must reflect that you believe God is capable to do that which He has promised. God's promises cannot fail. Has God given you a promise? Wait patiently for it. Do not stagger at the promises of God through unbelievers!
