The word for this week is "double-minded". We find it in these two portions of Scripture in the New testament.
James 1:8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. KJV
James 4:8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. KJV
This is the Greek word "dipsuchos". Strong's Concordance says: two-spirited, vacillating (in opinion or purpose). Thayer's Greek Lexicon says: wavering, uncertain, doubting, divided in interest (namely between God and the world). Vine's Expository Dictionary says: means two-souled. In keeping with the above definitions, James 1:5-8 says this:
5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. 8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. KJV
From all of your experience in your career in business, I am sure that you have had to deal with double-minded people a time or two! It really can be frustrating if we allow ourselves to get too involved with people who operate this way! It is such a blessing to see the ways that you and Kristine are handling this quarantine scenario! Rather than either of you becoming double-minded, you are both single focused on giving your lovely daughters the space to BE who God made them to be, all the while having the right standard for them to aim for! I REALLY love this promise from God found in Proverbs 22:6:
Train up a child in the way he should go [and in keeping with his individual gift or bent], and when he is old he will not depart from it.
You are doing a wondeful job and God is working in them all the time! Here is Hillsong with "You Are More":
Love and Shalom from the Swoveys!
