Day 2
Let There Be No Waverings
Read Romans 1:16-21
|
Many indulge in waverings to such a degree that you seldom know where to find them. One day, you may find them in a high state of emotion, professing faith in Christ as their full Savior, and on another, wavering and dispirited. It is because their faith depends on the state of their emotions rather than on the faithfulness of God.
Let there be no waverings. Such a profession dishonors God, and it is only by the self-induced consequences of such a course that those who do thus are driven about, and tossed as a wave of the sea, and do not receive any thing from the hand of the Lord. Remember Romans 1:17: "The just shall live by faith!"
--Phoebe Palmer

Lord, anchor my soul in the bedrock of faith so there will be no waverings within me. Teach me, Lord, that it is faith in Christ and not emotions that will produce results. Amen.
