Faith Tester – Matthew 11:1-6
Doubt is definitely a faith tester! Our Daily Bread hits the nail on the head, when it comes to the sorts of questions that regularly come to mind with regards to the existence of God, with regard to Jesus claims, with regards to pretty much any matter of faith! The reassuring thing is that I would appear not to be the only one who has these moments!
John too when the going got tough did too experience those sorts of feelings. It can be difficult to remain positive on the bleaker circumstances of life. The test in these circumstances though are what you do with these thoughts. Do you let them eat you up inside? Do you let them take over your thoughts? Do you give up all hope?
John did not do that! He turned to Jesus and brought his questions to Him! Jesus responded with encouragement and with examples of His miracles. He was able to reassure John in difficult times. We too should give any of these thoughts to Jesus and ask Him to help us. He can and will through the power of His Holy Spirit encourage us, build us up and give us the knowledge and confidence in Him.
