DOUBT

 

Are you like me

Do you ever have a little

Just a tinge of doubt

That God is alive

Living in today’s world

Living in you

And

Living in me

 

Do we

Have to be

Like the great Saint Thomas

Do we need to see

To believe

 

Doubts doubts

Why should we have them

The Lord

Has always come through

He came through

For Abraham and Sarah

He brought them a baby

Even though Sarah was about 92

 

Doubts doubts

No reason to have them

God has always come through

Just continue

To hang on to your faith

And he will come through

For you too

 

He came through for Moses

Parted the Red Sea

Even though

Moses never lived to see it

Joshua and his people

Inherited the Promised Land

 

Doubts doubts

No reason to have them

You have to know

With a little faith

God will always come through

 

Thomas said,

“Unless I see the nail marks

In his hands and put my finger

Where the nails were

And put my hand in his side

I will not believe it’

 

So Dear Lord

We ask you

To replace our doubt

With faith

And not to ask to see

To believe

 

But we know

Like Thomas

That that is what it will take

For some of us to believe

 

A week later

Jesus appeared again

Thomas was there this time

Jesus said,  “Thomas put your finger here

---see my hands

Reach out your hand and put it into my side

Stop doubting and believe”

 

Seeing is believing

For most of us

But for some of us

It just takes

A little faith

 

God has always come through

Ps        WITNESS        4-7-13

 

 

“Immediately-Jesus reached out his hand and caught him-

“You of little faith”-he said-“why did you doubt?”                                      

 Matthew 14:31  ( Jesus to Peter after he FAILED to walk on the water )

 

“Have FAITH in God,” Jesus answered, “I tell you the truth-if anyone says to this

Mountain-‘Go throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not DOUBT in his heart-but

BELIEVES what he says will happen-it will be DONE for him.”

Mark 21:22-23  ( about Jesus the withered fig tree)

 

“BE MERCIFUL to those who DOUBT-snatch others from the fire and save them

To others show mercy mixed with fear-hating even the clothing stained by

Corrupted flesh”       

Jude :22
