Doubting Thomas?

Do you ever have doubts about your faith? Do you ever wonder if it's too good to be true? When you get let down do you doubt?

I hit those points just like we all do. I build something up in my head that just has to be God but then it doesn't happen and I feel like God didn't live up to his end of the bargain. It's not true but I just look for someone to blame.

We all struggle sometimes. But in a world where everything is online or can be figured out quickly we have a hard not having all the answers. It's hard not being able to understand why everything happens.

There are some things we just can never figure out. God knows what is best. The bible says in Proverbs 14:12
New International Version (©1984)
There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.

1Chronicles 29:11 Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all. 12 Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thine hand is power and might; and in thine hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all.

No matter what happens. God is in control!

What are we putting in and out?

Whatever we put into our minds is bound to come out. If we spend all our time watching trash tv, listening to Hollywood gossip and some pretty rough stuff on the radio then how to we expect to be Godly? So many people expect God to do something in their lives but they haven't spent the time with God to get there. If we spend time in prayer, reading the Bible and quiet time with God we will reap the fruit of a close relationship with God. When we praise Him no matter what God knows He can use and mold us because we truly want to be in His presence. We have His kingdom mindset. So when you get up everyday and before you go to bed...think about "Did I have His kingdom mindset?"
