Mt11

Do you ever struggle with doubt? Even John the Baptist struggled. Notice how Jesus dealt with his doubt. He encouraged John to examine His life and the scriptures even more closely. He knew the scriptures would continue to strengthen John's faith in Him.

I think we all struggle with doubt from time to time. Life is a constant battle and doubt is a powerful weapon in Satan's arsenal. When we doubt, we are not confident in the things Jesus is calling us to do. When we doubt we are not pursuing with all our energy the life that is to come. We get trapped in the short-sighted reality of this life alone.

We should take our doubt to Jesus and the scriptures. Our doubting in not sin. Continuing to doubt without seeking answers is. Truth can handle all questioning. Jesus said, "Come to Me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." Great words from our Savior.
