Because God calls smart people; intelligent, wise people with their point of view of the situation that God is trying to change. Doubts and questions are not wrong; the failure is in giving in to the doubts and getting defeated by our lack of divine intervention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=John+7%3A17&amp;version=NIV\">John 7:17<\/a><\/strong>, \u201cAnyone who chooses to do the will of God will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Who are some Godly people in the Bible that doubted God and required explanations and signs before proceeding? Moses is the first to come to mind. Moses looked at the totality of his existence and asked why me? He had a terrible past; he sinned, killed, lied, ran away, betrayed his family\u2019s confidence, and suffered stage fright. On top of that, he was 80 years old when God commissioned him. Any reasonable man would ask why me? Job, Joseph, and Gideon all had moments when they asked God, Are you sure about this? It is not unusual for Godly people to doubt God. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=1+Corinthians+2%3A16&amp;version=NIV\">Corinthians 2:16<\/a><\/strong>, \u201cFor, \u201cWho has known the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?\u201d But we have the mind of Christ.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Asking for confirmation is not only not sinful, but it is also prudent. How easily can we mistake the self-centered voice in our head for God? Because we want something to play out a certain way, we manufacture the dialog. God gives us resources that he expects us to use. The challenge is when we let those resources supersede guidance from God. We start to believe we know the answer when we don\u2019t understand the question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">I look at four steps to overcome my doubt when God calls. They are prayer, scripture, counsel, and action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">OVERCOMING DOUBT WITH PRAYER<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=1%20John%205:14-15&amp;version=NIV\">1 John 5:14-15<\/a><\/strong>, \u201cThis is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us\u2014whatever we ask\u2014we know that we have what we asked of him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Everything starts with prayer. Prayer is the catalyst that ignites the power of the Holy Spirit within us. All great relationships have open communications; neither party holds back. Tell God exactly what you think, and He will respond. We can\u2019t touch His knowledge, perspective, and power, so don\u2019t expect to be right. Be honest concerning your doubts. You can not hide your inner thoughts, so why try?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Mark+11%3A24&amp;version=NIV\">Mark 11:24<\/a><\/strong>, \u201cTherefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">OVERCOMING DOUBT WITH SCRIPTURE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=2+Timothy+3%3A16-17&amp;version=NIV\">2 Timothy 3:16-17<\/a><\/strong>, \u201cAll Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">One of the things that always amazes me is that no matter what I am going through, the scriptures talk to me. I had a study Bible I used for many years where I read through the Bible in precisely the same order every year. Now my life didn\u2019t roll out the same way every year, yet the passages I was reading that day met the needs of that day. The same verses can speak to us in many different ways depending on what God has to say at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Cognitive or confirmation bias is when we consciously or subconsciously seek information that supports a previous position. Don\u2019t use scripture to build your case. Don\u2019t cherry-pick the passages or use them out of context to make yourself feel good about what you want. Let Him speak to you through His word if you doubt what God wants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Hebrews+4%3A12&amp;version=NIV\">Hebrews 4:12<\/a><\/strong>, \u201cFor the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">OVERCOMING DOUBT WITH COUNSEL<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=John+16%3A13&amp;version=NIV\">John 16:13<\/a><\/strong>, \u201cBut when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Hearing God speak through others is essential. It can happen in many ways, through a sermon Sunday morning or through a Christian podcast or online video. It can be through a discussion at Bible study or over coffee with a friend. Seeking Godly counsel when in doubt has many flavors. Remember that, as a friend reminds me, God will not ambush you. If you receive counsel that seems out of left field, it might be that it is. The spiritual counsel you receive should support or refute a previously held position. If it sends you in a new direction, go back to step one and start over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">OVERCOMING DOUBT WITH ACTION<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=James+1%3A22&amp;version=NIV\">James 1:22<\/a><\/strong>, \u201cBut be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">You can\u2019t steer a stationary ship; movement is required. God is patient and understanding. If we truly want His will to be done, even if we misunderstand, He will course correct us. Doing nothing accomplishes nothing. God requires movement. Once you have done your due diligence, even if you still have some doubts, do something. Give God a chance to intervene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Why do Godly people doubt God? Because He made us highly intelligent creatures with a desire to excel. He loves that about us and understands that we lack many of the resources He has. It is natural to want Him to validate what we believe to be true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=1+Peter+2%3A15&amp;version=NIV\">1 Peter 2:15<\/a><\/strong>, \u201cFor this is the will of God that by doing good, you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why do Godly people doubt God and want to ask for explanations and signs?
