Arrows of the Almighty
Doubting?
"Anyone who doubts is like a wave in the sea, blown up and down by the wind." (James 1:6)
Doubt robs is of our peace leaving confusion. He's a nosy neighbor always bringing up questions about God's faithfulness. He's an obnoxious guest pestering you, irritating you, leaving you with sleepless nights. He'll kick the stool out from under you and refuse to help you up. He seeks to come in uninvited into every life - especially Christians!
Dear believer, if you find yourself going to church wondering about your salvation, you've been listening to him. If you find yourself doubting that God could forgive you again for that, you've been sold some snake oil. If you're becoming more cynical about your fellow Christians you've invited doubt home for dinner.
The Lord Jesus Christ does not lie, "this is the ill of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believe in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day." (John 6:40) In Acts 2:2, We read "It shall come to pass that whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved" period! Open your Bible read and study the Word. Put a lock on the gate and a sign by the front door, peace to all who enter. Doubt and peace cannot life together as Psalms 119:165 promises, "Great peace have those who love Your law, and nothing causes them to stumble!"
