Help Our Unbelief

“Jesus said to him, ‘If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.’ Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears. ‘Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!’” (Mark 9:24)

“At one time, I saw unbelief dressed up as an angel of light. It calls itself humility, and it says, ‘I would not be presumptuous. God wouldn’t possibly pardon me. I am too great a sinner.’ We call that humility. I do not thank God for any such delusion. It is the devil dressed as an angel of light-it is unbelief after all. At other times, we detect unbelief in the shape of a doubt of God’s immutability. ‘The Lord has loved me, but perhaps He will cast me off tomorrow. He helped me yesterday, and under the shadows of His wings I trust. But perhaps I won’t receive any help int the next affliction. He may have cast me off. He may have forgotten me.’ Sometimes this infidelity is embodied in a doubt of God’s power. We see every day new straits we are involved in-a net of difficulties-and we think, ‘surely the Lord cannot deliver us.’ We strive to get rid of our burden and, finding that we cannot do it, we think God’s arm is as short as ours and His power as little as human might. A fearful form of unbelief is that doubt which keeps men from coming to Christ, which leads the sinner to distrust the ability of Christ to save him, to doubt the willingness of Jesus to accept us, such great transgressors.” (Charles Spurgeon)

We have no reason to doubt God. He has proven He is God over and over again. Today, we will call out negative talk for what it is: doubt. We can change the way we talk. We can speak positivity into our situation. We can live by faith, “Lord help our unbelief.”
