Do you doubt, O Christian? Do you doubt whether God will keep his promise? Can the munitions of rock be carried by storm? Will the storehouses of heaven fail? Do you think your heavenly Father knows you need food and clothing, yet will forget you? When not a sparrow falls to the ground without your Father, when the very hairs of your head are all numbered—will you mistrust and doubt him?

Perhaps your affliction will continue until you dare to trust your God, and then it shall end. So many have been tried and sorely vexed until at last they've been driven in sheer desperation to exercise faith in God. And the moment of their faith has been the instant of their deliverance! They have seen whether God keeps his promise or not.

Oh, I pray you, doubt him no longer! Please not Satan, and vex not yourself by indulging any more these hard thoughts of God. Think it not a light matter to doubt Jehovah. Remember, it is a sin—and not a little sin either, but in the highest degree criminal.

The angels never doubted him, nor the devils either! We alone, out of all the beings that God has fashioned, dishonor him by unbelief and tarnish his honor by mistrust. Shame upon us for this!

Our God does not deserve to be so basely suspected. In our past life we have proved him to be true and faithful to his word. With so many instances of his love and kindness as we have received—and are daily receiving—at his hands, it is base and inexcusable that we suffer a doubt to sojourn within our heart.

May we henceforth wage constant war against doubts of our God—enemies to our peace and to his honor! And with an unstaggering faith believe that what he has promised he will also perform.

"Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief."
