Doubt is good... I think. When we doubt our faith we have an
opportunity to scrutinize what we believe. Faith is confidence
in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. Faith is not this
ambiguous fog that we exist in as believers. Doubting our faith, when handled
correctly, leads us to scripture because it has everything we need for life and
godliness. Conflicts in our belief stem not from failure to know but reluctance
to process. Thinking through what you believe is not as risky as being blissfully
ignorant of what the Bible says you should do in any given situation or how
transformation of your minds by the Holy Spirit will effect you in everyday
life. Doubt is good as long as it is addressed rather than embraced like a pet
rat in the attic. No matter how much you love and care for that rat, it’s still
a rodent that will destroy everything you own. It is not a sin to doubt but
doubt should always drive us to find answers in God’s Word.
