Tag: What the Bible says about doubting God

Matthew 9:23-25 (NKJV) 23 When Jesus came into the ruler’s house, and saw the flute players and the noisy crowd wailing, 24 He said to them, “Make room, for the girl is not dead, but sleeping.” And they ridiculed Him. 25 But when the crowd was put outside, He went in and took her by the hand, and the girl arose. 

Jesus had the crowd put outside. Why? Because He knew they doubted Him. 

Sometimes we can be our own worst enemy. We want to believe. We want to see God move. But we don’t really believe. We doubt. 

Doubt is the number one enemy when it comes to seeing God move on our behalf. 

You see, Jesus knew that if He allowed those people to stay in the room, the little girl would not be healed and resurrected. He knew they doubted Him. They actually ridiculed Him when He spoke. 

By having the doubters removed, He created an atmosphere that was conducive to faith, and free of doubt. 

Sometimes it is hard to believe. Sometimes doubt can be so big in our face that it’s hard to see past it. 

But it’s up to us to ask God to help us with our doubt. He just wants us to cry out and ask Him! God won’t turn us away because of it. On the contrary, He will help us believe! 

Mark 9:24 (NKJV) 24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!” 

We urge you today, let God help your unbelief. Don’t struggle all your life with doubt and unbelief, tossed like a wave on the sea. 

James 1:6-8 (NKJV) 6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways. 

Just cry out to Him, saying “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”. Amen.
