Doubt

Matthew 21:21; James 1:6

​The Bible is loaded with examples of God fearing people who expressed fears and doubts. In reality, we all experience doubts of one kind or another in our faith journey, although rarely do we express them. Most of us are ashamed for doubting God. We are fearful that if we tell someone that we are struggling with doubt that our doubt signals a lack of faith. Christian theologian Paul Tillich tells us "Doubt is not the opposite of faith, it is one element of faith".

Questions for further thought:
1. What causes you to doubt?
2. How can you overcome your doubts? 

Challenge: Share your doubts with someone you trust. Reinforce your confidence in your faith by reading and meditating on Scripture. Remember and thank God for His faithfulness that you have already experienced.
