… without faith it is impossible to please God … — Hebrews 11:6
What about doubt? What about those little voices that tell us that God won’t come through for us, that God isn’t really kind, that God is going to leave us hanging, that God as we know Him doesn’t really even exist?
The disciples knew those voices of doubt. "Lord," they said, "increase our faith."
Jesus didn’t seem to be troubled by their request. Instead, He said, "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can …"
Every doubt is an opportunity for God to show up in our place of weakness and do something supernatural. When we bring our doubts to the Master and hear the Word of God, something inside us changes forever. We begin to taste and see that God is good.
What is faith? In part, faith opens the door on all these secret chambers of doubt and allows a life-changing God to come inside.
