August 5, 2018 Our Daily Journey Devotional : Topic - Rattled by a Pole

--> Note :- Are you born again? You are never going to win the battle against the devil if you are not born again. I plead with you to give your life to Jesus today because the longer you stay in sin and remain unsaved, the more hardened your nature becomes against the purpose and the way God wants you to be for His purpose. To give your life to Jesus now, say this prayer: “Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus. I know that I am a sinner and I cannot save myself but Jesus died for me and shed His blood that I might be saved. Today, I accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. Jesus, I ask You to come into my heart, be my Lord, wash me with Your blood and make me whole. I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.” I congratulate you and welcome you to the family of God if you have sincerely said that prayer. Now you are fit to discover, know and walk in your destiny.

Read: 

Mark 9:14-29
I do believe, but help me overcome my unbelief! (Mark 9:24)
My faith was once rattled by a telephone pole. I noticed its rough timber and shuddered, recalling that Jesus was nailed to a cross of wood. Suddenly I wondered, What if He wasn’t? How do I know the Bible is true? A wave of nausea washed over me until I snapped out of it, reminding myself of the many reasons I believe in Jesus.

Yet I was shaken. Like the father who begged Jesus to heal his son (Mark 9:24), I believe—I really do—yet I live on the edge of doubt.
This father’s struggle with faith reminds me of three truths:
Doubt is normal. The larger the question, the more likely we’ll struggle with doubt. Few things were more important to this dad than the healing of his son. His hopes had been dashed moments before when Jesus’ disciples failed (Mark 9:18). Could Jesus do any better? He hoped so, but he had his doubts. His problem was too large not to wonder, at least a little. Likewise, nothing matters more than God, so don’t be surprised by doubts about Him. They’re your attempt to make sure your foundation for life is solid.
Distress is a sign of faith. I hate the anxiety that accompanies doubt, but the fact that our doubts bother us means that deep down we really do believe. Doubts only trouble those who also have faith.
Doubt does not weaken Jesus. What we believe matters more than how firmly we believe it. Jesus said faith as small as a mustard seed is enough, as long as it’s placed in Him (Matthew 17:20). Faith is like wasabi: a little bit goes a long way! The father had doubts, “Help us, if you can.” But he brought his doubt to the right place. “What do you mean, ‘If I can?’ ” Jesus asked (Mark 9:22-23). Then He showed what a little faith in Him can do.
NLT 365-day reading plan passage for today: Luke 12:1-21
