THE GOD WE DOUBT

When we face difficult times, the first thing most of us do; forgets about the power of God.  Our faith is replaced with doubt and fear, and we forget that God is still with us; sometimes we even doubt His existence, even though He has brought us through so many times before.  The things we have read about Him and the blessings we have already received should be enough to keep our faith secure.  Just think about the blind receiving sight, the lame walking and our lives being regenerated, this is the God we doubt. But, the best thing is God understands our doubts because He knows our flesh can override our Spirit.

 Matthew 11:3-5  3 to ask him. “Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?”  4Jesus replied, “Go back and report to John what you hear and see:  5 The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is proclaimed to the poor.

We must remember when we are faced with adversity, that nothing is too hard for God.  Scripture tells us “blessed are those that believe without seeing Him” so do not let doubt and fear ruin our faith in Christ. Also, suffering is part of our growth process Because Christ had to suffer.  But, God will not give us more than we can handle; just like He did for His Son, so do not be afraid, stand on His Word

Father, when we begin to doubt You, let us turn to Your Word; and pray that You will renew our hearts and minds, with Your grace.  Lord, help us be encouraged; as You move through and correct all the circumstances in our lives, as Your acts of mercy strengthen our faith.  Father, let Your Word fill us with the Holy Spirit; that will teach us how important it is, not to give into to our doubts and fears.  Lord, let us feel Your presence so we will know You are still with us; because You know, we all struggle with unbelief from time to time.  Father, the only way we can be reassured is through Your Word; so give us a strong desire for Your Word, when we begin to doubt You.  Lord, help us stand on Your Truth because we know You will keep Your promise; as You have so many time before, and thank You for understanding our weakness, in Jesus name, Amen
