Doubt, Part 2

This post is to remind us that we are all faced with the daunting task of trusting God when all of the information speaks otherwise. I sincerely feel that God understands and responds to our humanity and He is prepared to strengthen our faith at those difficult moments. We must not allow those moments of doubt to drive us away from God but we can turn those moments into opportunities to develop a deeper relationship with God. I am convinced that God is ALWAYS interested in the development of our relationship with Him. Moments of challenge and concern become the "soil of opportunity" which can either drive us away from God or drive us toward God in a heartfelt pursuit of His presence. We can use our doubt as a moment to develop a fresh and new conversation (some my say prayer) with God. These moments of conversation (prayer) can offer us fresh insights to the greatness of God as well as the concern that God has for us. These moments of conversation (prayer) allows us the opportunity to see a fresh revelation of God's love for us as individuals. I can not overstate the passion and fervency of God's love for fallen humanity. His great love is revealed in the sacrificial death of Christ on the cross and the desire that God has to redeem fallen humanity. We must rejoice in the fact that God's love is real and that he will not forsake us during the times of doubt and difficulty. These moments of conversation (prayer) also reveal to us how we can relate to God and this deeper understanding brings us to the point of trusting Him more. We must remember that we can ask God for help during these difficult challenges that life will bring to all of us. Remember the promise that God has spoken to us, "God has said, I will never leave you, I will never abandon you. " Hebrews 13:5, (NKJV). Always remember that we can walk in the strength of the promises of God!
