" WE ALL HAVE DOUBT(S) "

We may have doubts about many things in this life, but we should never doubt God. Now, of all people who should not show any doubt, that's Moses. Moses had witnessed God's power in spectacular miracles, yet at this time he questioned God's ability to feed the wandering chosen people of God (The Israelites). If Moses doubted God's power, how much easier it is for us to do the same. But completely depending upon God is essential, regardless of our level of spiritual maturity. When we begin to rely on our own understanding, we are in danger of ignoring God's assessment of the situation. By remembering his past works and his present power, we can be sure that we are cutting off his potential help. Now I believe that most of us are familiar with Adam and Eve's downfall in the garden. The serpent, satan, tempted Eve by getting her to doubt God's goodness. He implied that God was strict. Stingy, and Selfish for not wanting Eve to share his knowledge of good and evil. Satan made Eve forget all that God had given her and, instead, focus on the one thing she couldn't have. We fall into trouble, too, when we dwell on the few things we don't have rather than on the countless things God has given us. The next time you are feeling sorry for yourself and what you don't have, consider all you do have and thank God. Then your doubts won't lead you into sin. Until Next Time... Jim,
