Day 3: Remember What You Do Know
Doubting is not all about the search for answers. Sometimes we simply forget. It is easy to forget about all we know about God, especially in times of complacency and chaos.
John the Baptist had this moment where God did not fit his expectations, sending him into a season of doubt. We only get a brief snapshot in Matthew 11, but I can imagine this was not a quick little moment - these questions had been brewing in John. Then he finally asks, “Should we expect someone else?” This is a faith-shifting question for John – you can sense he is just on the verge of ditching it altogether. Yet, Jesus reminds him of something he already knows – the blind receive sight, the lame walk, those with leprosy are cleaned, the dead are raised, and the good news is proclaimed to the poor – that’s a reference from an old promise in Isaiah 32 and 35 about Jesus before he came. Jesus is simply saying something John already knows – look through the chaos, continue to trust, and remember who I am.
Sometimes we stumble and fall not because of genuine questions but because God doesn’t meet our expectations. Jesus is inviting you to know him, not confirming the version of God you have established.
