Doubt is something that happens to every believer. We are not exempt from it, and we doubt God’s love, His power, His laws and also our own salvation. Doubt is the Devil’s age old trick, and we see that in various scriptures in the Bible.
Satan was using doubt with Jesus in Matthew 4, in ways not very different from how he tempts us or how he did Israel, the 3 temptations are patterned after Israel’s wilderness, and Adam & Eve.
In each temptation he casts doubt on whether God can be trusted?
1. Should we live life obeying God and waiting for his promises, or take charge and get what we want now?
2. Can we simply trust that God is good, without him proving it to us?
3. Will God bring the future he’s promised or should we settle for the earth before our eyes now?
In Matthew 11 vs 1-11 we look at what causes John to Doubt Jesus:
Difficult Circumstances
Unmet Expectations
Limited Perception
And here’s how to deal with doubt
The Word of God
Sacrificial Obedience
The Promises of God
