Don’t Question My Faith ~By: Louise Gagnon


Don’t question my faith

When you do not know

When you’ve sunk to the bottom

And He is there to bring you back up



Don’t question my faith

When you are laying sick and alone

Feeling His arms around you

Telling Him I’m ready to go home



Don’t question my faith

When you see things happen

That others don’t understand

But Christians do understand



Don’t question my faith

When you see God’s hand

In everything you see around you

And He says don’t worry I am in charge



Don’t question my faith

When faith is all we need

To help us through the day

When the body dies and our spirit goes home


It seems to me that when question our own faith it shows a weakness that needs therapy such as exercise. What will exercise do for my faith? In this instance I'm referencing spiritual exercise. Mediate on God's truths. Spend time with really spiritual people. Don't leave out a very important exercise; pray! This is one exercise that can be done while driving (don't close your eyes). When you receive an email or phone call about someone that is experiencing very real difficulties, pause for a moment and pray. Take some time away from all the material things we do on the computer. Do a quick Google search for a key word that you want to meditate on. You'd be surprised at the enormous amount of choices that will appear.

The point is; change direction for a while. We are what we do and think about the most. We are prone to spend ten times more of our efforts on a product, MLM, our job or entertainment than we are on our faith. When we do that we have very little to complain about when our faith begins to waiver. Above all, don't blame God.

Faithfully yours,

Mike

We should never question another's faith, but we should test whether we are in the faith.

Mike is on my list. I visit his forum frequently.

Hi Sharon, and thanks, Mike!

One exercise that I find the most helpful is reading His Word.  It comforts me, inspires me, gives me adrenalin and once their, I no longer have any questions whatsoever about my faith.  I am His!

God bless you,

Judy

Thanks Sharon for putting Mike on the forum map (sort to speak) for us. Yes he is a friend, good friend to be exact. As a Disciple of Christ as you may have already know. Faith is determand by there actions, in my case we teach that salvation is by the grace of God and was purchased by Christ's death on the cross (Ephesians 2:8-10, 1 Corinthians 1:21-24). There is no deed or deeds we can do that are sufficiant to earn God's forgiveness or pay for the dept of our sin. Sin can be forgiven only through the blood of Christ (Romans 3:23-26). We do preach the biblical doctrine of repentance from sin and that true biblical faith results in obedience (Romans 1:5). The Bible teaches that without a changed and committed life, our faith is dead and does not lead to heaven (James 2:14-26).

Hi Sharon, and thanks, Mike!

Beautiful picture Judy!
