Doubt
Such
a strong word to be so short…
Perhaps
like dynamite…a mighty blast for a small package.
Ironically,
doubt works like that too… it needs very little to explode.
Doubt
is a dweller…
Doubt
dwells… waiting for a time to sneak in and remind me.
Past
failures, current-strife’s, never-has-been’s, and never-will-be’s.
Doubt
is definitely of the devil. No glorifying persona.
Doubt
is that little lie that is told over and over whether it begins in my heart or
in my mind I’m not sure… but it doesn’t stop at its root… it spreads like
monkey grass… or a wild fire.
And
oh how my flesh loves to fan that flame… the world pours on the kerosene…
Doubt
really is a huge weakness of mine.
If
I could learn to not let doubt dwell…rising above the occasionally doubt might
not be so hard… winning the constant every day every minute battle of doubting
is a never ending battle.
Lord,
may I focus on victory through your son Jesus. May I dwell in Your mighty
power, your everlasting reign.
Then,
when doubt appears not from a dwelling place in me but from a fallen place may
I rise to the battle and share your peace.

Beautiful peace on something we all struggle with, Rebekah. Just stopping by from www.ournotsoengineeredlife.blogspot.com for the FMFParty and I'm so glad I did! May we all find the courage to battle back the doubt and find the peace that passes all understanding!
ReplyDeleteWow that was very real and honest - just the sort of post I love because it helps me be real and honest. Love the last two lines. Beautifully written. Thank you. A close neighbour at FMF this week.
