What Causes Faith To Waiver

We know we are called to and be strong in faith. We are called to a life of faith and it’s by through faith we access the saving grace of God.
But what about when faith waiver?  What causes our faith to waiver and how do we not waiver but be strong?
James 15 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. 6 But let him ask in faith, without any doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed. 7 For that man shouldn’t think that he will receive anything from the Lord. 8 He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
We are to ask in faith without doubting. I want you to know doubting is used as a verb. It’s something you do. 
What I want to show you from Scripture is what doubting looks like and how it is an enemy to faith.
Doubting is from the Greek Word “diakrinō.
It’s the same word used in this verse.Matthew 16:3“In the morning, ‘It will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ Hypocrites! You know how to discern the appearance of the sky, but you can’t discern the signs of the times!”
It’s discern.
Doubting is making a judgment. It’s taking things into consideration and making a judgment.
So what doubting is in the biblical since, is taking into consideration two things instead of focusing on one. That’s a double minded man.
We are to focus on one thing, the truth of God’s Word.
Let’s look at Abraham.
Romans 419 Without being weakened in faith, he didn’t consider his own body, already having been worn out, (he being about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb. 20 Yet, looking to the promise of God, he didn’t waver through unbelief, but grew strong through faith, giving glory to God, 21 and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was also able to perform.
Abraham didn’t consider his body or the body of his wife which in the natural was too old to have children. He focused on the promise of God and grew strong in faith.
He didn't waiver. He didn’t practice doubting, considering more than one thing and making a judgement. 
No he didn’t even consider the age of his body and the body of his wife. He knew what the condition of his body was but he didn’t consider it. He only thought about the promise of God.
If you want to keep your faith from wavering, stop considering things that are not inline with the Word of God. Keep your focus on the Word and in doing so you are steering focused on Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. (See Hebrews 12:2)Blessings,Tim Dumas
