Have mercy on some who doubt; save others by snatching them from the fire. Jude 22-23
Have you ever found yourself waiting and waiting on Christ to come through? Have you ever endured long stretches of suffering on a certain matter while hearing all sorts of wondrous works He was doing elsewhere?
It hurts doesn't it? We can be believers in Jesus for years, literally seeking Him, finding Him, and serving Him- then suddenly have a staggering bout with doubt. Overwhelmed with guilt and fear, we'll think, "How in the world could I be doubting after all this time?" It's a horrible feeling!
I'd like to suggest, however, that these kinds of doubts are probably not coming from our heads. They're coming from our hearts. Our feelings. Our emotions. Our hurts. Does that mean we can just surrender to them? I don't think so. Our heart-doubts can be very dangerous if we remain in them. But if we wrestle through them with the Lord Jesus, when we get to the other side of our crisis, we will find ourselves spilled into a place of spacious faith!
