"Reflectios on Doubt and Unbelief " by Ronnie Martin
- Because God is sovereign, it means that every event that unfolds in our lives is under His watchful eye and within His careful design.
- Maturity in Christ is when we remember God´s goodness when life is less than good. The problem with maturity is that by definition, it´s something that happens over time, not instantaneously.
- The ruequestion of doubt is always a question of who over what. Is the who you are doubting a liar or a truth teller? If we believe the who, we never need question the what. I never think what my wife is telling me is untrue because I believe with every fiber of my being that she is someone who would never lie to me.
- Unfortunately, Eve´s doubt about who God was led to her pride over what he commanded, and all of earth and creation is still reeling, from the aftereffects.
- Temporary blindness is just that. Temporary. We can trust that God will be faithful to pierce through the darkness of our doubts and continue to build and strengthen our belief in Him.
- At the heart of doubt and unbelief is the unwilligness to submit and yield to Jesus Christ, the creator of the universe. The difference, though, is that doubt is a temporary condition that can lead to greater belief, while unbelif is the condition that condemns a person.
- Knowing that God is grater than our doubts give us greater hope in Him.
