Doubt Your Doubts, Not God

I saw someone airing their dirty laundry on social media and I thought of how often in life we do what feels good - in the moment. We are going to be hurt and we will have a Judas in our life. God may allow something to happen but He can use it for our good. He will make us stronger. Romans 8: 28, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." God designs our plan with all of this in mind and the mistakes that we will make and through His mercy He gets us right back on track. During these times, don't let people put doubt in your mind.

In a second, doubt can grow from a small whisper to a huge monster holding us by the throat. God doesn’t expect us to never experience doubt. Abraham doubted for over 20 years but he believed in God. Romans 4: 17, "He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed—the God who gives life to the dead and calls into being things that were not." God is not intimidated by bad news, our fears and He is not offended by our honest prayers.

Faith is moving forward in spite of our doubt. Faith is holding on to the promises of God, despite what others say, despite what our mind is telling us, despite what our fear is telling us and despite the reality of our situation. Our faith is proven by our actions, not our emotions. To win the battle against doubt, go to God!
