Do Not Doubt God

​Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, “I believe; help my unbelief!” (Mark 9:24)

Our God is faithful. As small children we can become impatient, throw a temper tantrum, and give up before our prayer has been answered. Nevertheless, the Lord needs us to show up and not give up because, “He is not like man that he should lie.” (Numbers 23:19)

We alone, out of all the beings whom God has fashioned, dishonor Him by unbelief and tarnish His honor by mistrust. Shame on us for this! Our God does not deserve to be so poorly treated; in our past life we have proved Him to be true and faithful to His word, and with so many instances of His love and of His kindness as we have received and are daily receiving at His hands, it is base and inexcusable that we allow a doubt to lodge within our heart. From now on let us resolve to wage constant war against doubts of our God—enemies to our peace and to His honor—and with an unstaggering faith believe that what He has promised He will also perform. “I believe; help my unbelief!” ~Charles Spurgeon
