When We Doubtഉദാഹരണം

Day 5: Keep Asking Questions

There will be a time in your doubt when you’ll need to make a leap of faith. Even when you’ve found your answers, something is still unknown in the midst of faith. Central to the Christian faith is the belief that there is more to life than what we see. But even after we take the leap, we won’t be void of moments of uncertainty.

Gideon had a moment of uncertainty. Again, we have to give Gideon some slack on this one – God is telling Gideon only to use a 300-man army to fight a war. And God tells him that if Gideon does this, putting his trust in God, he will win. Gideon started with 32,000 men. Now he has 300. We would probably have some follow-up questions, too - and Gideon looks for confirmation before heading out.

Ultimately, there is some wisdom to this, and we see that God honors Gideon’s request. Sometimes we must wait a minute to ensure we’re getting something right. Keep asking the questions because there is something holy about curiosity and wonder amid the battles of life. And remember that doubting and questioning when it comes to faith is normal - it means you seek God even deeper than you ever have before.
