CAN FAITH AND DOUBT CO-EXIST


Mark 9:24- And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.

 

Imperfection is what it is until it surrenders to or is overcome by perfection.

 

Oh!  if we could only hush the little voices in our minds that seems to put our faith in jeopardy.  Or if the negative ones would be silent until our faith bring the thing to pass.  Unfortunately, this is the thoughts of a wishful thinker.  A faith that is not challenged must be questioned as to whether or not it is faith at all.  Our doubt will interrogate our faith; but our faith mustn’t wavier.  Faith cannot have inconsistencies in its story.  If it is asked the same question one million times, it must emphatically and relentlessly say the same thing every time: “I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me” (Acts 27:25).  There is no way to stop, shut off, or shut down thoughts of doubt; but we overcome as we continue to believe God in spite of the circulating and circumstantial evidence of doubt. 

 

The thing that you have asked God for—is it within His Will for you to have?  And if you are within His Will—then although you know doubt, know beyond the shadow of doubt God has worked things out in your favor.  Come hell or high water, hold on to the promises of God.
