Wishy-Washy

God is God. If we believe it, we need to act on that belief. The prophet Elijah challenged the people of his day with this truth in a question, “How long will you waver between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow him; but if Baal is God, follow him. But the people said nothing” (1 Kings 18:21).
In the comics, Charlie Brown is often accused of being “wishy-washy” by his friend Lucy. Lucy once told Charlie, “You’ll always be wishy-washy.” His response was, “Why can’t I change just a little bit? I’ll be wishy one day and washy the next.”
A wavering, wishy-washy faith is very dangerous, but conversely, a solid faith, as spoken of in Psalm 100, will stand us in good stead throughout our lives. As a matter of fact, God’s faithfulness will never waver. “For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations” (v. 5).
