Bible Algebra

D+D-F=D

When our hearts are filled with Doubt and Disappointment there is going to be a lack of Faith, and if unchecked will quickly add up to Discouragement.

When Peter was walking on the water he got his eyes off the Lord. We read, “But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me” (Matthew 14:30). When we look around and only see the work of the enemy and the circumstances of life we too are going to be filled with doubt and disappointment. However, in the next verse we read, “And immediately Jesus stretched forth His hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?” (Matthew 14:31). What a gentle, kind yet firm rebuke this must have been to Peter.

Let’s not bring doubt and disappointment into the equations of life. Doubt and disappointment always bring into question the wisdom and goodness of God our Father, while shaking our faith in the one who truly loves us.
