Hmmmmmm this is going to be good. There is so much to talk about in this blog. But doubt is a topic man!! If I’m being honest God has been taking me on a journey this year, one that has tested my faith greatly. Sometimes we lose sight of all the things that God has done with us. My pastor this Sunday mentioned a verse, that impacted me so much. He said,

“Later He appeared to the eleven disciples themselves as they were reclining at the table; and He reprimanded them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they had not believed those who had seen Him after He had risen from the dead ‭‭Mark‬ ‭16‬:‭14‬ ‭NASB2020‬‬”.

Sometimes because we get consumed with our day to day we forget that we have a God who wants to do life with us. I read throughout the Bible of people whom we all can relate too. This Bible verse is so interesting because Jesus came back to the disciples after resurrecting. It’s like we take this whole life journey with God, and forget who he is/what he has done in our lives.

On Monday God gave me a big revelation, honestly where we all fall short. He told me that sometimes we use God like people use a prostitute. People look for prostitutes to use/sleep with them to satisfy their (lustful) desires and then leave. We treat him in the same way, where we use him to get what we want and then leave him.  When God wants a relationship (a marriage) with you. We are his bride and he is our groom!!! We have tasted and seen of his goodness. Let’s silence the voice of the enemy, he does nothing new. We are the ones who fall into his trap, we need to control our minds… Submit it to the obedience of Jesus Christ. We need to constantly meditate on Gods word.

A verse I constantly find myself repeating and declaring in my head is, “2 Corinthians 10:5- “We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God,and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ”. Whenever we have thoughts of doubt and unbelief, turn this verse into a prayer and declare it.

I get why people doubt, because some things just don’t make sense. But the thing is we can’t expect our minds to possibly comprehend someone who is so much bigger than us. He is our creator, he made the whole universe. Think about it with the design argument. A chair can’t create itself, it needed a designer. Now can a chair possibly comprehend the mind of its designer, no!!!! We need to think of it in the same way. We need to be weary of the enemy’s schemes and be cautious with our minds !!! What you feed your mind, is what your mind will be full of. God calls us in his word to set our minds on things above, not earthly things… Becareful that you don’t let unbelief enter into your mind and heart. We have been given the Bible and Jesus himself for a reason. We need to learn, not to judge the characters in the Bible but to learn from them. We are no better than them, we judge Judas a lot whenever his name comes to surface. But if we really think about it, we are no better than him. We judge the Israelites, but just like they fell short we do always as well!! If we think about it, everyone in the Bible were great examples. Each person God used to teach a great lesson, the only difference between some of the characters was simply their hearts… Judas saw and literally walked with Jesus. Yeah, maybe we don’t physically see our God. But God gives us a lot of affirmative words in His word. He says blessed are those who without seeing believe!!! He also says a fool in his heart says there is no God. Okay maybe you don’t completely doubt Gods existence. But not trusting that God has a plan, not trusting that God has control over your life, is also allowing doubt to enter into your life…. We must be wary to not lose trust and sight of what is true, our God.
