Doubting Your Assurance Of Doubt

Continuing James 1: 5-8: “For the doubter is like the surging sea, driven and tossed by the wind. That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. An indecisive man is unstable in all his ways.”

Zacharias was performing his priestly duties in the Holy Place inside the Temple, when an angel of the Lord appeared and told him that he and his wife would have a son in their old age. His response was, “How can I be sure?” That’s a good question. How can we be sure about anything? If we can’t be sure of anything, then we can’t be sure about not being sure, because doubt requires faith. If you doubt then ultimately you’re trusting in your doubt, your reasoning, and your own judgment. Can you really trust yourself, your feelings, or your reasoning? Isaiah 55:8-9 tells us that God’s ways are higher than our ways. So, either way, faith or doubt, you have to trust something or someone. Doesn’t it make sense to trust God whose ways are above you? Because if you’re afraid to really believe in something, you’ll never live for anything. If you’re afraid to trust in what’s good, you’ll trust in what’s not good – you’ll trust in doubt. So why put your faith in doubt? Stop putting faith in doubt, and put it where it belongs, with God. 

From Message #501 – The Dumb Priest 
Scripture: James 1:5-8

TODAY’S MISSION – Today, start practicing holy doubt ” start doubting all your doubts ” and anything that is not of God.
