ever felt like........................... God has abandoned you? ever feel like God never chose you to be one of His own? Ever thought to yourself. The more I pray the less You hear? Let me encourage you this day that behind every problem, under every broken heart, God has purpose in the pain. Jesus Himself warned that we would have troubles in the world. Jhn16:33. No one is promised a trouble-problem free life. In fact, isnt life a series of problems after troubles followed by ........... more trials? Mine is anyways. Every time I solve one problem, another problem emerges from seemingly nowhere? Not every problem is BIG! But every problem is significant in Gods purposed plan in growing us to maturity. Took me most of my Christian life to finally see this. I used to think God was angry with me. Even punishing me for not getting understanding or wisdom quick enough. I find myself doubting all the time, Not doubting if God is real, or if Jesus really lived, died, and lives again for me! But doubting God loves me enough to get me out of this jam this time. Any one else ever feel like that? No? Well did you know Billy Graham went through a time where he struggled with doubts about the accuracy and even the Authority of the Bible? He did, but instead of pretending he was incapable of any unbelief a young Billy graham confessed to God that in spite of confusing passages he reads he would completely trust the Bible as the sole authority for his life and ministry. Well , I dont have to convince you how God blessed that honesty from that young man. Billy Graham is world renown because of admitting his doubt in Gods Word but choosing to believe it without understanding it.. So despite Christian convention about the Name it and claim it doctrine, or the have faith in your faith theology. I believe doubt is the catalyst God uses to reveal His Power to a sinful world. And to have faith in Jesus despite our lack of understanding the power behind the man Jesus. Doubt confessed in honesty is no doubt the pivot point of many Christian lives. Doubt was the way God called me out of the world I knew so well. How can one sense truth without first sensing doubt? Doubt causes one to reflect, and reflection produces hope, and hope transforms into faith, and by faith we please and know God. I dont remember whom quoted this, but, I never forgot it. Someone said, IT IS THE FIRE FROM A DOUBTING MIND THAT BRINGS FORTH THE GOLD OF GODLINESS. Mark 9:24; 24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief. unbelief and doubt are synonyms. interchangeable. meaning the same thing. Jesus didnt say to this father you lack faith, you dont believe enough, or you doubt ME!!!!! heeeheheee,,, no Jesus healed the fathers boy from the demon afflicting him despite his doubt. So next time you are having a troublesome day, going through doubting if God hears you weeping, doubting even if God did hear you He woudnt do anything about it for you, just confess that doubt, and trust in Jesus that your plight is as nessasary as winter is needed before the spring........... God bless the faithful, even if we doubt our selves, God does not doubt you are more than a conqoruer if you put your trust in Jesus
