Unstable in all his ways!

James here is communicating to those around him in the church to encourage them to face tough times with a measure of stability. We are told in Mark 14:27 by Jesus as he quotes Zecharaiah "You will all fall away," Jesus told them, "for it is written: "'I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered". James is aware of this risk and so tries to inspire the church to hold fast


James 1:2-8 - 2Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. 4Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 5If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. 6But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. 7That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; 8he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does.


May we all hold firm to the anchor of our souls and remain secure and steadfast in Him.
