DAN GARTLAND 

Good morning, I’m Patrick Andres, and I’ll be making a spot start for Dan Gartland today. I’m wondering whether the population of Sunrise, Fla., can handle that much Tkachuk.

A World Cup on island time

Sam Navarro/Imagn Images

When FIFA signaled that it would expand the World Cup to 48 teams way back in 2017, skepticism was immediate (this is, after all, FIFA). Would the move dilute the power of sports’ most revered tournament and the quality of the games themselves? Was it merely a cynical thumb on the scale to boost booming nations with little soccer tradition, like China, India and Indonesia?

So far, the answer to all three of these questions has been a resounding no, and that is due in no small part to the performance of some of this tournament’s least heralded entrants. This weekend, two of those teams delivered huge shocks. 

⚽ Check out SI’s World Cup Daily

First, on Saturday, Curaçao—a squad that sits in between Montenegro and Guinea in the FIFA rankings and lost 7–1 to Germany in its opener—wrestled an exhilarating 0–0 draw from Ecuador in Kansas City. The hero for the country of 155,000: goalie Eloy Room. Room, a 37-year-old Eredivisie alum who plays for Miami FC in the USL Championship, casually saved 15 shots in one of the greatest goalkeeping performances in World Cup history. The soccer profile of a nation far better known for baseball in the United States continues to rise.

The next day, Cabo Verde—already riding high after drawing Spain 0–0 in its opener—stared down Uruguay in Miami Gardens, Fla. The African side took a 1–0 lead on a 21st-minute goal from midfielder Kevin Pina, then came back from down 2–1 to earn a 2–2 draw and set itself up well for its group-stage finale against Saudi Arabia. Uruguay may be soccer’s ultimate overachiever size-wise—a nation of 3.5 million with two World Cup titles—so there was a certain irony in seeing them humbled by an even smaller fish.CONTINUE PATRICK’S COLUMN ON SI

👀 The top five …

…most interesting World Cup moments from this weekend (nations of usual sizes edition).

5. Egypt couldn’t have come back against the Kiwis without winger Mo Salah, whose first goal of this World Cup was a stylish one.

4. Côte d’Ivoire winger Simon Adingra will rue this late missed chance against Germany, which opened the door for forward Deniz Undav’s stoppage-time winner.

3. Total football, if not totaalvoetbal, from the Netherlands.

2. American outlets like to fixate on a Japanese cultural norm they should know well by now, but it really is (to steal a British-ism) class that Japan’s fans cleaned up after their team crushed Tunisia 4–0 in the much-hyped 1,000th World Cup match.

1. Spain winger Lamine Yamal’s dazzling goalto open his team’s account against Saudi Arabia—the first of many, no doubt.

Quote of the Day

“He who wishes to love God does not truly love Him, if he has not an ardent and constant desire to suffer for His sake.” -St. Aloysius Gonzaga 

The Life of Christ

Today’s Meditation

“The fact that John the Baptist called Him the Lamb of God is most significant; He was neither the peoples’ lamb, nor the lamb of the Jews, nor the lamb of any human owner, but the Lamb of God. When the Lamb was finally sacrificed, it was not because He was a victim of those who were stronger than Himself, but rather because He was fulfilling His willing duty of love for sinners. It was not many who offered this sacrifice, although it was man who slew the victim; it was God Who gave Himself.” —Fulton Sheen, p. 72

Examination of Conscience

The daily examination of conscience is an ancient Catholic practice. It’s very simple, and it’s designed to help us identify our sins and weaknesses so that we can improve and grow stronger in the spiritual life, while providing an excellent ongoing preparation for regular Confession. It consists of taking a few minutes at the end of the day to prayerfully review our actions in the light of God’s commandments, followed by the Act of Contrition.

 Reflect on the victories and losses 

Actively reflecting on the high and low points of the day can help you live more intentionally and bring a renewed sense of resolve into the following day.

  • Review your actions, words, and thoughts today. Did you actively guard yourself against temptation? Where did sin creep in?
  • In what moments did you practice virtue and moral courage?
  • Were you attuned to the Holy Spirit’s promptings today? Where did you feel His inspiration?
  • Ask Him for the graces necessary to follow His Will more purposefully tomorrow.

 Act of Contrition 

O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all my sins because of Thy just punishments, but most of all because they offend Thee, my God, Who art all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve with the help of Thy grace to sin no more and to avoid the near occasions of sin. Amen.

 Practice gratitude 

It is God’s love that has brought you into existence and to this exact moment. Practice looking for His hand in your day. 

  • Where did you feel His loving gaze upon you today?
  • What people or moments helped you see God in your life?
  • Thank God for all these moments!
  • Ask Him to help you recognize His blessings and providence tomorrow.

 Renew your commitment to Christ 

Remember: our Faith is founded upon a Person—Christ! Renew your personal love and devotion to Him.

  • Thank God for the gift of His Son Jesus and our call to be His disciples.
  • Tell the Lord of your desire to know Christ more personally.
  • If possible, set an intention for your day tomorrow. Ask Our Lord to guide you in this act.
  • Pray a Hail Mary, Our Father, or another beloved prayer.

Rest with God

In peace I will both lie down and sleep; for Thou alone, O Lord, makest me dwell in safety. — Psalm 4:8

James 1:5-8 – Overcoming Double-Mindedness: Seeking God’s Wisdom with Singleness of Purpose

James 1:5-8

(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. 
King James Version   Change email Bible version

Our Creator promises us wisdom—but only under the condition that we do not waver or be double-minded. I have sweat plenty over these verses through the years, having had to battle indecision. Likewise, when I pray, I have problems concentrating. I have battled doubts and fears when I have asked to be anointed.

But is simple mind-wandering or normal doubts the subject of James’ reprimand? Or is it something else? Perhaps mind-wandering, indecisiveness, and doubting are more symptomatic than the actual causes of double-mindedness.

The apostle Paul writes that anyone who comes to Godmust believe that He is and diligently seek Him (Hebrews 11:6). If we are in a conference with a human being, it is rude to tune him out, fall asleep on him, or become distracted. Some of my students have done that to me—giving me an insight on how God must feel when our minds wander when we pray, study, or meditate. Inattention and mind-wandering, although they are related to double-mindedness, do not seem to be what James had in mind.

The anguished father in Mark 9:24, who says, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!” might be accused of being double-minded, but he is not. He desperately wants to believe, and he asks for help. He is not of two opinions.

The Greek word translated “double-minded” in James 1:8dipsuchos, in its literal sense means “double-souled,” like having two independent wills. The words “with no doubting” in verse 6 are translated from the Greek words meedén diakrinómenos, which describes one divided in mind, who wavers between two opinions.

Some may wonder whether the apostle Paul, when he complains, “For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice” (Romans 7:19), was exercising double-mindedness. This state of struggle that goes on in all of us is not the same as double-mindedness. Paul’s mind, he goes on to explain, is focused one way, in one direction (verse 22), but inherent in the flesh of every human being is an innate enmity toward God and His law (Romans 7:238:7). Just like Paul, we also fail to keep God’s law perfectly because we have human nature in us that is perpetually at war with God’s Holy Spirit in us.

All of us have a deep-seated desire to be at one with ourselves. We will not realize this desire until we are totally composed of spirit. Until then, we can expect a spiritual tug of war to go on perpetually. As more of God’s Spirit flows through us, renewing our minds and displacing our carnality, we will find it easier to keep our carnal nature in check. All of us, I trust, can point to certain areas in our lives that are now under control—but which at one time were not under control. The spiritual struggle occurring in all of us between our spiritual and carnal natures is not double-mindedness.

Double-mindedness is literally having two separate minds holding contradictory thoughts. Double-mindedness occurs in a church member when he has an implicit or explicit knowledge of God’s law, yet deliberately harbors a sin, choosing to conceal it, repress it, or ignore it.

James supports this explanation of double-mindedness in James 4:8: “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts you double-minded.” Anything one willingly does or does not do that is contrary to God’s law (verse 17) makes one guilty of double-mindedness. Double-mindedness depends on a knowledge of and a willful intent to reject God’s law, as the psalmist writes in Psalm 119:113: “I hate the double-minded, but I love your law.” On the other side, being synchronized with God’s law is equated with singleness of purpose and leads to peace of mind and a feeling of wholeness. The same psalmist writes, “Great peace have those who love Your law, and nothing causes them to stumble” (Psalm 119:165).

God’s law itself is the vehicle of wisdom that the petitioner requests in James 1:5. It would be absurd for someone to ask to be filled with the spirit of the law and simultaneously be determined not to keep it. Sometimes we inadvertently do this when we ask a minister or counselor for advice on a problem—but have already purposed in our minds to do it our own way. Then when the minister tells us something that goes against what we have purposed to do in our inner being, a highly uncomfortable state of dissonance emerges.

Harboring any secret sin puts a tremendous strain on the nervous system. Psychologists have a name for this emotional/psychological turmoil: cognitive dissonance, literally “inharmonious thought.”

People who have left the truth often report that they feel more at peace with themselves now than at any time they were in the church. This should not surprise us. When they—anyone, for that matter—tries to submit to God’s law with a carnal mind, unbearable cognitive dissonance occurs. The nervous system plunges into a tailspin until it achieves a sense of equilibrium or wholeness. Carnal nature does not feel comfortable in the light of God’s law: “Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be” (Romans 8:7). The easiest way to find equilibrium is to reject the beliefs that send them into a spiritual dither.

The nervousness, the self-questioning, the sense that you are not quite ready — these feelings are not evidence that you are unprepared. They are often evidence that what you are stepping into matters to you. The people who feel the most uncertain before something significant are frequently the ones who have thought the most carefully, cared the most deeply, and prepared the most thoroughly. Your doubt is not a warning sign. It is the cost of caring. You are more ready than you feel.MORE INSPIRATION
