The Creator Exists!
Never Doubt Jehovah!
James chapter 1 verse 6:- 6 But let him keep asking in faith, not doubting at all, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven by the wind and blown about.
The weaker your faith, the more inclined you are to doubt! While it is true that even the strongest Christian can at times give way to doubt over certain things, but usually a little thought on the matter, or discussion with others, will result in renewed resolve! However sometimes we tend to dwell on a problem though and the doubt grows until it is much harder to remove it from our minds?
All around us in this world there are various forms of information that can distract us from remaining firm and resolved to continually follow what we know to be the truth from God's word the Bible. It is so easy to compromise and before we know it, we are following a course that if not corrected, will lead us astray, damaging our relationship with Jehovah!
Correct Mistakes Quickly?
Hebrews chapter 3 verses 18 and 19:- 18 And to whom did he swear that they would not enter into his rest? Was it not to those who acted disobediently? 19 So we see that they could not enter in because of lack of faith.
This sinful weakness is in all of us, we are imperfect, and there is not one of us that does not sin! So we need to take this constant weakness in our spiritual armour to heart, never letting it distract us from doing what is right, and proving ourselves faithful in even the little things? Pleasing Jehovah should always be the most important guiding factor in our lives, always remember that we are footstep followers of Jesus Christ!
But is we fall into the trap of straying from the narrow road, getting back on the path to life is a priority we cannot neglect! As soon as we realise that we are missing the mark, we need to correct our thinking and stop whatever distraction caused us to stumble! The road to life is a long and a sometimes treacherous journey, but Jehovah knows our weaknesses, and is always ready to forgive if we are repentant.
You Are Not Alone!
Hebrews chapter 12 verse 1:- 1 So, then, because we have such a great cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also throw off every weight and the sin that easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,
Never neglect the avenue of prayer, always tell Jehovah about your failings and your disquieting thoughts, talk to the elders in your congregation if you need help to correct a wrong course, don't struggle alone, there is plenty of help available! One of the most common forms of doubt is the feeling of being unworthy, thinking that Jehovah could never forgive you, this is common, but it is also completely untrue!
Doubt is closely linked to faith, if our faith is weak we will eventually start to doubt our worthiness to serve Jehovah, and soon the doubts will start to multiply. Please remember that faith is built upon Knowledge, and knowledge is built upon study, so if you are struggling then you need to look closely at your study habits, this will include your meeting attendance, Bible reading, and all other spiritual activities including field ministry? Ask yourself, are you doing enough to strengthen your faith?
Struggling with Doubt?
1 Timothy chapter 1 verse 13:- 13 although formerly I was a blasphemer and a persecutor and an insolent man. Nevertheless, I was shown mercy because I acted in ignorance and with a lack of faith.
Conclusion: Correcting our spiritual thinking by correcting and improving our spiritual involvement will strengthen our faith and banish the doubts! If you develop strong faith then nothing will be able to break it, you will also find that you have new energy for the preaching work, and for all other spiritual activities, nothing will ever distract you from serving your God!
It's up to you to banish doubt, only one person can help you to correct your thinking? That is why prayer is so important to your spiritual health. Study the Bible regularly, and always ask for Jehovah's help to understand and benefit from what you learn. there are many wonderful revelations just waiting to be discovered by you and anyone else who spends time with regular Bible study, the rewards are well worth the effort!
Ecclesiastes chapter 12 verses 13 and 14:- 13 The conclusion of the matter, everything having been heard, is: Fear the true God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole obligation of man. 14 For the true God will judge every deed, including every hidden thing, as to whether it is good or bad.
