Psalm 94:19 NLT
"When doubts filled my mind, your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer."
Doubt is a feeling of uncertainty. When it enters our minds, we can be flooded with all kinds of thoughts that cause us to question what we are experiencing. Doubt can also act as a defense mechanism, promoting us to pause, reflect, and evaluate whether what we are recieving is rooted in truth.
While having doubts is normal, living in a constant state of doubt is unhealthy. Remaining in this state opens the door to instability, confusion, fear, and a lack of confidence in God's ability. It is a tactic the enemy often uses to discourage believers. When we begin to doubt God, our faith weakens, and we become vulnerable to double-mindedness.
Our Heavenly Father invites us to bring our doubts to Him so he can renew our minds through his Word. When our minds are overwhelmed by what we see, hear and experience, the Holy Spirit is there to remind us of God's promises and follow us with His hope, peace and joy.
Renewing our minds with Scripture helps keep unhealthy doubting at bay and shuts the door on the enemy's attempt to use it as a weapon against God's people.
When you feel doubtful, run to the Word of God and find scriptures that dismantle the instrusive thoughts rooted in hopelessness and fear. Any thought fueles by doubting God's ability to show up in your life is trespassing. When you meditate on the word and believe it with wholeheartedly, you will be able to serve doubt an eviction notice.
