It's Okay to Ask

Luke 7:18-28

Yesterday, I had a BBQ with a few friends, and the girls ended up having some 'girl time' to talk. My friend had an issue where she really needed some prayer and guidance. The just of it is, everyone is against what she is doing, but she is unsure if her actions are reflection of God's plan for her. There was a lot of doubt, and I told her that if you walk down that path, and it is in God's plan, he'll close the doors unnecessary to his plans. 


"...he sent them to the Lord to ask, "Are you the one who was to come, or should we expect someone else?"" [John 7:18]


Even John the Baptist was doubtful of many things. He sent his men to ask Jesus if he was the Messiah, to ensure that his ministry was valid. Instead of accusing him of mistrust, Jesus stated the miracles he was doing, with witnesses, used things from the Old Testament John would understand, and even praised him. We question and we doubt because it's our human nature to. If we are shaken by uncertainty, God is the one that can assure us of certainty.

Reassurance comes as we doubt our doubts and believe our beliefs.
