Our Faith will overcome our Doubt and Fear.
Our Hope and Confidence are in the Lord.
They are in the Promises that God has Spoken.
In uncertain times, we may tend to doubt. We may doubt that God is good and wonder if He has good plans for us. We doubt if He really hears us or understand that this is all too much. We doubt sometime, let's be honest, if He is real and if this Christian living is all really worth it. Let's be honest today!
This doubt can make us anxious and take us to a place of low-grade depression or even deep depression. When we get to that place, we need to remind our doubt about who our God is and how He works in our world and our lives. We need to remind our doubt of these things:
Ephesians 1:9-10 says, "And through the revelation of the Anointed One, he unveiled his secret desires to us—the hidden mystery of his long-range plan, which he was delighted to implement from the very beginning of time. And because of God’s unfailing purpose, this detailed plan will reign supreme through every period of time until the fulfillment of all the ages finally reaches its climax—when God makes all things new in all of heaven and earth through Jesus Christ."
God has made known His will, His plan, His intention and His purpose. And we know by His word that it is not a short-term plan. Its a long-term plan where we already know the end-game and the winner! Come on! He is not a God that "sets it and forgets it."
He is involved with His creation. He is working and moving all the time. He is the chief architect of creation. His plan is detailed and organized. Every nuance is purposeful. Every event happens under His permission and supervision. God isn't surprised by anything. So why are we?
WORD
Romans 8:28: And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
Isaiah 55:10-11:As the rain and the snow come down from heaven,
and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth:It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
2 Timothy 1:7: For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.
