Thanks, Chris. I need this sort of right currently in the moment and before I even need it I’m sending a message that I’m going to enjoy reading it.

Wow! I'm always amazed at God when He constantly places people in my path to help grow my faith. His timing is impeccable!!! I have been doubting certain things for a while now and I realize that I'm not suppose to understand every single thing and I appreciate that. But sometimes, there are things that I struggle with believing. The old saying' "if it's too good to be true, it probably is...." keeps popping up in my thoughts. This writing today--could have only came from Him through you, just for me. Thank you for sharing your heart and know that it was for a purpose! That purpose was me!

Doubt can just come upon us like a sneeze. It’s what we do with our doubt that matters. In James 1, it’s the double minded man who will not receive wisdom from God because he has one foot in the boat with God and one foot in the world. It seems to be different than doubt that comes suddenly and unexpectedly.

My father was a Deacon in their church. He went through a horrible season of doubt. What I know is he came out of it so strong and passionate for the faith. We are tempered by fire and that includes the flames that try to engulf our faith.

You don’t know what your faith is made of until it’s tested. For sure! 👍🏻

I doubt that doubt is a sin 🤨. Thomas the apostle doubted…

Hi, Dr. Bob. That's the whole point. So many times, we feel that we shouldn't doubt or ask questions. Asking questions is good, and finding the answers contributes to our growth.

The timing of this is nothing short of God sent. I had just finished praying about my fragile faith and this notification popped up. This strengthened me, calmed me and put things in much better, clearer and healthier perspective.

“If you are doubting right now, do not panic. It does not mean you are failing. It means you are growing.”

Words I so desperately needed to hear in this very moment.

Thank you!

This is so good! It is so difficult for us to trust that we will not be rejected for not being 'good enough'...most of us have loads of examples of that rejection. It makes thought of bringing these questions to God so scary, fear of a life of rejection...but God is a GOOD Father and meets us with love and compassion. Thanks for the reminder 🙂
