Psalms’ Blessings

Day 14 – Doubt

This verse had such an impact to my spirit! It was exactly what I needed … just when I needed it!

Psalm 77:3 is worded perfectly for the person who has any doubts in the Lord and what He is doing. Notice that the Psalmist remembered his God and that troubled him … but why did it trouble him? The colon tells us that the thought, the point, is coming. The Psalmist complained and, because of that, he was overwhelmed. Then to top it off, he inserts a rest, Selah – as if he wants us to stop and think about it. Whew! God’s words for mankind are so applicable to life today!!

Through the struggles of my life in the past few months, I’ve often doubted the Lord. What is He doing? What purpose does He have? Why is He allowing this? My spirit was troubled within me and now I can totally understand why! When we doubt God, that is when we become overwhelmed with the issues at hand. To rest securely in His care is the place to be. To rest in Him brings peace and tranquility for the weary soul!

So what’s the solution to doubt? Go back to the beginning of the verse and you will see! 🙂 The Psalmist said, “I remembered God.” Looking back on my life, I have so much for which to be thankful! There’s no doubt in my mind that these blessings were from the Father in Heaven. Doubt flies when we concentrate on what He has done for us in the past. We can rest in the knowledge that He will bless us again! 🙂
