A success to roadblock is very closely related to fear is doubt. Doubt is a lack of assurance. When we doubt, we become unsteady, tentative, and wavering in our pursuit of a goal. We may not become paralyzed or be put into “flight” mode as with fear, but we may become bogged down and miss important opportunities for advancement.
As with fears, you must face doubts head-on. You must ask, Why am I doubting? There are several reasons for doubt. One is a lack of understanding that God is with you always. Anytime you are concerned about whether God is with you, I encourage you to read aloud one of these passages of the Bible as often as you need to read until you truly believe it.
{Phil. 4:13; Phil. 4:19; Heb. 13:5; John 16:24; & Matt. 7:7}
Thoughts
. There is no circumstance, no trouble, no testing, that can ever touch me until, first of all, it has gone past God and past Christ, right through to me. If it has come that far, it has come with a great purpose, which I may not understand at the moment. But I refuse to become panicky, as I lift up my eyes to him and accept it as coming from the throne of God for some great purpose of blessing to my own heart. - Alan Redpath
. Imagine being in this glorious world with grateful hearts—and no one to thank. - Christina Georgina Rossetti
True Worthiness
Revelation 5:9
And they sang a new song: “You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased men for God from every tribe and language and people and nation. –
Worthy! What a beautiful word! For those of us who are disciples of Jesus, we know of only one who is truly worthy. He is worthy to open the scroll and reveal the future. He is worthy of praise and adoration. Why? Because even though he was holy, perfect and heavenly, his death on the cross to purchase our pardon, forgiveness, and salvation made him worthy. And he did it not just for us, but also for people of all races and languages and cultures. Jesus, you are worthy!
