Overcoming Doubt
Matthew 28:17 “When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted.”
Doubt is a part of life. When making a major decision, entering into a new relationship, or selecting a meal between to great looking menu items: sometimes doubt can be overwhelming. When it comes to our relationship with God doubt is common. Many outstanding Christian leaders doubted, including Martin Luther, C.S. Lewis, and Mother Teresa.
Doubt can be a nagging question in the back of our minds that cannot get answered but it is important to know that doubt and faith can co-exist. One time a father came to Jesus and desperately asked Jesus to heal his sick son. Jesus asked the father: “Do you believe I can do this?” The father answered, “I believe; help my unbelief.”
When doubt strikes prioritize hearing from God. Read and meditate on His scripture. Look for answers but live with mystery. Finally, act on what God tells you to do!
How aboaut you? Do you struggle with doubt? Is there a challenge you are facing today that is keeping you from trusting God more? What is the level of your faith today?
Take a few moments to read about how Gideon wrestled with doubt in Judges 6 and how God helped him overcome doubt in his life.
God Bless,
