doubters

I feel like doubt can be a good and a bad thing for Christians. I think as humans we tend to be scared of things we can't see. We are very materialistic. It is just apart of our sinful nature. But I also feel like it is our doubt that eventually brings us closer to God. For me, I have been able to battle my doubt with situations where I have truly seen God's hand work. I know that in some things it was not only my doing, but God's help and strength as well. I think through our doubt God teaches us how big He is, how able He is, and how much He DOES NOT need us. God's will will be done in this world with or without our individual contributions. He is THAT mighty.
I look at doubt in relation to inventions and science. Someone has to doubt and think that their is a better way to do something for there to be new ideas. Doubt is what drives ingenuity. I feel like that relates really well to doubt and faith. Without doubt, our faith wouldn't increase. We wouldn't find ways to further and deeper trust and rely on God. Although times of doubt can be rocky and uncertain, they are absolutely necessary to be able to mature in Christ.
