Doubt

One of Satan'a better weapons against us!
If we are truthful, at least with yourself, doubt has to rate right up there.
And certainly true across believers of all age, maturity, denomkinations and nationalities.

Think of Eve in Eden.
Cain refusing to sacrifice correctly.
Abraham with Hagar.
Jonah.
David, over and over again!
The list is endless of man's unfaithfulness to God.

I am not an exception, I went thru a period of doubt.
I went from everything in hand, to not so good - literally overnight.
Everyone was against me.
And being in the midst of horrible surgeries did not help either.
Loosing all memories, only complicated everything.
What happened to God?
Where did He go?

So, what to do, when you doubt, foul up, etc?

1 John 3:19-24

Take Comfort
You are not alone!
We are all doubters.
Old and New Testiments are full of doubting examples.
So, is your Church.
In my Bible, God did not punish doubt.
God answers the doubt.

Does not mean you will not have to be corrected to see straight again.

Take Care
Doubt is not what you think!
We trust the Scriptures and assume them to be truth.
Doubt is not lack of faith, it is uncertainty.
Struggle is not a lack of faith eith.

When in doubt, you seek the light.
When you have unbelief and seek the darkness.

Take Action
Push yourself towards God!
God is greater than your doubt.
He can, and will, prove it.

Admit your doubt
Borrow on others faith
Act on faith, not doubt
Doubt your doubts
Go back to what you know is true
