How much longer will you waver, hobbling between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow him! -1 Kings 19:21 (NLT)
ON WAVERING
A poem and essay by ILMA
Are you faithful in doing what the Lord says?
Do you get buried in confusion and haste?
How much longer will you waver?
Why do you delay clinging to your Savior?
If the Lord is God, why aren’t you following him?
There is no salvation in deceitfulness and sin
A person with divided loyalty is unfaithful
No one can serve two masters and stay truthful.

It is sad to know that there are believers who actually serve two masters. Some of them do not even realize that they are unfaithful to God. This is one way that the enemy tricks many Christians. Satan deceives many believers by twisting truths in the bible or taking many verses out of context. How do you detect when you or another believer wavers? Hesitation is a dangerous place to be in. When one dawdles, it shows their confusion. It also exhibits a lack of honesty and integrity.
God is a faithful God, he never wavers. In 1 Kings 19, Elijah confronts Ahab about how he and his family refused to obey God’s commands and worship Baal instead. He boldly challenged them to show that God is superior over all their other gods. God was with Elijah and he sent fire flashed from heaven to prove his power.
PRAYER
Lord, help me never to waver.
REFLECTION
What can wavering do to a person’s life?
