Perspective Check
By T. S. Candee on April 28, 2022 in 3-Minute Daily Devotions for Men
On one hand, it’s okay to admit anxiety and doubt to God, in fact, He tells you to (1 Peter 5:7). On the other hand, doubt can betray a lack of trust in God’s ability to keep His promises. Moses, for example, made it clear that he wasn’t up to the task God was calling him to do. In return, God made it clear that that was the point.
God knows your shortcomings and will help you overcome them when you obey Him. He equips those He’s called. Do you trust Him enough to obey when it gets hard? Your view of God is crucial to your faith. When you have doubts, remind yourself of what you know to be true about Him.
God’s will is found in His Word (see Jeremiah 29:11; 1 Timothy 2:3-4; 1 Thessalonians 4:3; 1 Thessalonians 5:18; Micah 6:8; Luke 9:23). The more you know Him, the clearer you’ll see Him-including the inescapable truth that nothing is impossible for your God.
And the Lord said unto him, Who hath made man’s mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the Lord? Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say.
