Doubt is a part of religion. All the great believers before us were doubters. – I. B. Singer
Moses and the burning bush. Gideon and the fleece. Thomas and the disciples. All these doubted at first, but fully believed later. AMEN!
It can be strongly argued that the beginning of faith and wisdom is found in doubting; for by doubting we come to the question: “can it truly be so?”. And by seeking the answer we come upon the truth. But we must distinguish between doubt and unbelief. God will forgive us our doubts, for doubt is a condition of the mind, but he will not excuse our unbelief, for that is a condition of the heart. Though God need not prove himself to anyone; he ‘delights’ in those who seek after him and his ways, lovingly revealing more and more of his character to them. As we grow into maturity our doubting should began to cease and our marvels increase as we gain a firmer understanding of who God truly is and how he loves us. May we all learn to trust him a little more today!
Until tomorrow……
