標 題： 你為什麼懷疑？
經 節： 門徒來叫醒了祂，說：「主啊，救我們，我們喪命啦！」耶穌說：「你們這小信的人哪，為什麼膽怯呢？」於是起來，斥責風和海，風和海就大大地平靜了。（馬太福音八章25～26節）
因著信，神的能力被釋放在基督徒的生活中（希伯來書十一：33～35）。事實上，你的懷疑是你不夠認識神的指針。如果你使禱告生活滲入了懷疑，你就放棄了神所給最偉大的惟一解決之道。人非有信，不能得神的喜悅（希伯來書十一：6）。神從未安慰懷疑中的你。耶穌對不相信祂的人，一律是斥責。祂向祂的門徒清楚啟示自己，好叫他們在有所需求時，能夠相信祂。
神要建立你的信心，直到你的信心能在任何情況，都能相信及順服祂（馬可福音九：23～25）。當你決定除去自己的懷疑，衷心轉向祂的那一刻，神會針對你的懷疑啟示祂自己，使你確信祂的信實。當多馬懷疑的時候，耶穌向他啟示的方式是何等奇妙，讓多馬的懷疑消失得無影無蹤（約翰福音二十：27）。只有神的同在，才能解決你缺乏信心的問題。祂會清楚地啟示自己，除去你所有的懷疑。耶穌曾是如此幫助祂的門徒，祂使他們與自己創建不斷成長的關係。耶穌以言行教導，帶領他們經歷許多小奇跡、大奇跡與自己的復活。耶穌知道整個世界的救贖，取決於門徒對祂的信心。在你周圍觀看你如何因信神而挪去懷疑的人，神要為他們成就甚麼大事呢？
Why
Do You Doubt?
Then
His disciples came to Him and awoke Him, saying, “Lord, save us! We are
perishing!” But He said to them, “Why are you fearful, O you of
little faith?” Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there
was a great calm. (Matthew 8:25-26)
It is by faith that God’s mighty power is
released into the life of a Christian (Heb. 11:33–35). The fact that you have
doubts indicates that you do not know God as you should. If your prayer life is
infiltrated with doubts, you have denied yourself the greatest, single avenue
of power that God has made available to you. Without faith it is impossible to
please God (Heb. 11:6). God never comforts you in your doubt. Jesus
consistently rebuked those who would not believe Him. He had revealed enough of
Himself for His disciples to have believed Him in their time of need.
God wants to build your understanding of
Him until your faith is sufficient to trust and obey Him in each situation
(Mark 9:23–25). The moment you turn to Him with a genuine commitment to rid
yourself of doubt, God will match your doubt with a revelation of Himself that
can convince you of His faithfulness. When Thomas doubted, Jesus revealed
Himself to him in such a way that every doubt vanished (John 20:27). You can
only resolve your lack of faith in God’s presence. He must reveal Himself in
such a way that any doubt you might have is removed. Jesus did this with His
disciples. He involved them in a consistent, growing relationship with Himself.
Jesus took them through teaching, to small miracles, to large miracles, and to
the resurrection. Jesus knew that the redemption of the world rested on His
disciples’ believing Him. What does God want to do in the lives of those around
you that waits upon your trust in Him and the removal of your doubts?
