It is common to see people doubting God’s actions. Many times we find ourselves in situations so complicated that we begin to fear that our Lord is not listening to our prayers or has forgotten us.
But, although it is common, this should not happen because our Father is the first to want the best for us, His children. So today we are going to reflect on doubt and how dangerous it can be.
Is it a sin to doubt?
And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
Hebrews 11: 6
Doubt is not a sin, as long as it does not compromise our faith, so when it comes to God’s action in our lives it is wrong to doubt, because in this case we are showing unbelief about what the Lord has already done and is doing in our lives. And how it is written in verse above, it is necessary to have faith to please God.
When we doubt, we act by our own strength, being unstable. In James 1:6-8, it is written that whoever doubts must ask by faith, because whoever doubts is like the wave of the sea, carried and stirred by the wind, and will receive nothing from the Lord, for he has a divided mind and is unstable in everything you do.
Just believe, have faith!
Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.
Hebrews 10:23
I’m sure that at some point or situation, like me, you already said that you trusted God and a little while later you put a “but” in the phrase “I believe that, but …” Today I want to tell you that there is no need for that “but”. God is sovereign and can act in all things.
Likewise, our Lord is faithful and keeps his promises, so do not doubt God’s promises in your life. In Numbers 23:19, it is written that God is not a man to lie, nor a son of man to repent. Here again, we are sure that what was spoken by Him will be fulfilled.
Fighting doubt
We can feed the doubt within us or reject it. A strong weapon in relation to this evil is the word of God. In the Bible we find answers to any and all doubts, so develop the habit of reading it and using it in combat it’s eccentric. It reminds me that when Jesus was tempted to doubt by Satan, he used the scriptures to defend himself and we must do the same.
Finally, when you doubt, remember what God has done and be grateful. We human beings are memory failures and we easily forget the good things we have already experienced.
God bless you!

Thank you for this. Your words have truly touched me and have made me see again how amazing our God can be! I’ve been down under, and have seen myself changing for the worse these past months. Anxieties, worries, and doubts have taken control over me. I’m aware how it affects me and I’ve been praying, and reading the Bible. I was about to say “but” and was right away reminded of your writing. There should never be room for doubt. Our faith must be enduring always for it pleases our Lord and He has never let us down. May we always be reminded by His saving grace and overflowing love. God bless to each and every one of us, especially to those who need it the most.
God bless you! 🙂
Ty for sharing this… it’s hard coming out whole heartedly during hard times but reminders that we aren’t alone is reassuring that struggles in tbis life are worth sharing when it helps relieve & allow others to see gratitude in the words of anotber sufferer for we are not alone & respectfully are worth loving in Jesus name. We need not doubt that!
We ALL surely do!!!
This is a good one for everone of us has faced doubt somewhere in the chaos & confussion of this world! But God didnt say we wouldnt have trials or tribulations, but said be ye NOT conformed to this world but be ye transformed in the renewing of your minds. He gave us instruction in the sword of the spirit &truth of His Word. An example in His very own Sons conquered trials. Directing us to follow that example & seeking “HIS WILL IN ALL THINGS !” WITH God ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE! Doubt & confusion stem from a lack of knowledge &doing it on our own! We have refuge in who’s our CREATOR!!! Promises of peace & a sound mind! PROMISES of LOVE beyond measure & certainly a guide for all on this journey called LIFE. When we free ourself of us & see His promises, which do not return void, we free self from self inflicting unecessary self centered CHOICES…He listens & is concerned for His creations’ choices in a pure relationship with the Alpha & Omegas knowledge only He obtains! He shares this in our obedient walk & when we fall helps us up again! He knows every hair on our head & wishes for an open reltionship to allow us the pivelage of sharing in His natural being without limitations to all who seek & believe! We are here to share these Blessings with ALL for ALL SOULS MATTER TO ✡ABBA🕆
We find God undeniably sufficient in the face of the seemingly insurmountable- …we can hold fast to hope in Christ; the source of living water!!! Welcome His downpour of sustaining GRACE by way of redemption & see the beauty of the landscape He’s led us to…He’s our only HOPE in every season, even the desert. In the desert Gods primary purpose is to extract His people of oneself to HimSELF in His faithfulness! Showing us HOPE’S Beauty-JESUS 🕆GOD has so much to show each of us, stay awake for a time such as this! Jesus used scriptures” to defend himself we must do same! Jesus alone is author of our HOPE… our sustainer & perfect picture of the One way, truth &life we would ultimately know through himself! God makes a way & purposes to give us Himself! When we have eyes to see it, there’s so much beauty to behold in whatever season we’re in!
