Doubt Is Not The Opposite Of Faith

Sometimes we question our faith because we have doubts. But here is what I've figured out about my faith; if faith always felt like confidence, it would diminish my opportunities to feel the power of my faith.

If it always felt easy peasy - piece of cake - no problemo - how likely would I be to acknowledge a power grander than me in the doing?

Faith isn't the opposite of doubt. In fact, it's in the doubt where faith can most often be found.

There's no way I can do this.

Faith is what says, "but yes you can."

This feels too much like doubt for this to be what God wants me to do.

Faith says doubt is one of the most overlooked signs from God that this is EXACTLY what I'm supposed to do.

Faith is what waits at the finish line of the race that had a starting line painted with doubt. Faith is the voice of God saying, "I knew you could do it."

I'm not suggesting that God can't be the source of great confidence. He can be. But I am saying don't let your doubts convince you that God has done some sort of disappearing act.

Because chances are it's in your doubts that God is standing beside you quite literally larger than life. Holding your hand. Proclaiming we've got this.

Proclaiming, it's time to go.....
