Do you know that it is by faith that God's mighty power is released into our life? I believe that when we doubt, that is an indication that we do not know God as we should. If our prayer life is infiltrated with doubts, we have denied ourselves the greatest, single avenue of power that God has made available to us. The Bible says that without faith it is impossible to please God. And I believe that God never comforts us in our doubt. Jesus consistently rebuked those who would not believe Him. He had revealed enough of Himself for His disciples to have believed in their time of need.
"Then His disciples came to Him and awoke Him, saying, "Lord, save us! We are perishing!" But He said to them, "Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?" Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm." Matthew 8:25-26.
God wants to build our understanding of Him until our faith is sufficient to trust and obey Him in each and every situation we encounter in our lives. The moment we turn to Him with a genuine commitment to rid ourselves of doubt, God will match our doubt with a revelation of Himself that can convince us of His faithfulness. When Thomas doubted, Jesus revealed Himself to him in such a way that his every doubt vanished.
We can only resolve our lack of faith in God's presence. He must reveal Himself in such a way that any doubt we might have is removed. Jesus did this with His disciples. He involved them in a consistent, growing relationship with Himself. Jesus took them through teaching, to small miracles, to large miracles, and to the resurrection. Jesus knew that the redemption of the world rested on His disciples' believing Him. Question: What does God want to do in the lives of those around you that waits upon your trust in Him and the removal of your doubts?
