Why Do I Keep Falling Into Doubt?


Isn’t it uncanny how we seem to trust everything but God. Right here I am specifically talking about myself. But if anyone reading this post has felt the same way by all means feel free to join in.

Despite the current economical climate we trust we will stil have that job, we trust we are going to still get that pay check, we trust that when we get in that vehicle it will start, we trust that when we go to bed at night we are going to wake up the next day, which by the way is only orchestrated by God. Even, the currency we exchange has “In God We Trust” written on it. Need I go on?

Yet, when we come into the same life situations that He’s already brought us through we find ourselves, and again I’m speaking to me, falling into that same old rabbit hole called doubt. In this case, Wonderland is really not that wonderful. I’m starting to feel like that man, you know… And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief. (Mark 9:24 KJV)

There is a text that reads…But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. (James 1:6-8 KJV)

Being unstable in all ones ways implies a lack of a firm foundation in faith, leading to inconsistency in ones actions and beliefs. True faith requires a single-mindedness or having the mind of Christ. Right here I posed the question, “is my foundation in faith a little shaky?”

The word does say that he gives every man according to their measure of faith right? (Romans 12:3 KJV) And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. (Matthew 17:20 KJV)

Recently, I had the opportunity to preach a brief sermonette where the Holy Spirit gave me a word. “If I did it once, I can do it again.” Perhaps that was the Lord’s way of reminding me of the above text in Matthew. At any rate, once again I find myself repenting for not believing what He promised. I pray that in the near future my belief system gets an upgrade because it is so singularly taxing and tiring to keep crawling out of this rabbit hole over and over again!

Perhaps if I keep declaring those words Jesus spoke in the garden...”nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.” (Luke 22:42b KJV) I can finally not only come up out of that rabbit hole of doubt but stay out of it! And declare as David did…“And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the Lord.” (Psalm 27:6 KJV)

Thank you so much for your continued readership and support. Until next week…Have a blessed new week!
