The word for today is - Doubt !

Good morning,
The word for today is - Doubt ! 
  
The bible speaks about a double minded person, it says do not be double minded, read James 1:6-8,But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. So many people are walking around with doubt in their hearts and mind. Let us define the word doubt first, it means, a  lack of certainty that often leads to irresolution or  uncertain and  a lack of trust. The word of God is clear, you must believe in Him. You can not walk around trusting the word of man. God said in His word, where is your faith?  Think about that for a second? Jesus is asking His disciples a question you and me? You are a disciple of Jesus Christ if you believe in Him, read Luke 8:25, And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commands even the winds and water, and they obey him. So, why is it so hard for mankind to trust and obey God's word? Do you not know the story of Jesus walking on water? Jesus told the disciples to get into a boat and go on ahead of him to the other side of a lake. After he had told them to go, He went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. Later that night, he was there alone, and the boat was already a distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it. The disciples didn't know what to do, just like us sometimes. The word of God says, I the Lord will never leave you or forsake you, I AM always with you, read Deuteronomy 31:8,And the Lord, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed. So,Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake (water). When the disciples saw him walking on the lake (water), they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear. Jesus said,It is I, don’t be afraid. Jesus is saying to His disciples, why have you not exercise your faith?The disciples were looking for more faith, but the word of God says, If you have faith the size of a mustard seed ,nothing will be impossible for you."Do you not know that a mustard seed is the smallest seed you can plant in the ground? The one disciple name Peter says,Lord,if it’s you“tell me to come to you on the water.Jesus replied “Come,”he said.Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus.But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out,“Lord, save me!”Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him.“You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt"? Get understanding, that if you take you eye's off of the Lord you will sink also! Let us be strong and courageous by the word of God and trust Him, read Proverbs 3:5-6,Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. The word of God says, we walk by faith not by sight! Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !
