This is the fourth post in my series of “Come on Down” as a play on words of the Price Is Right show.
Self-Doubt.
It is debilitating. It crushes you. It keeps you from enjoying life and being all that you can be. We are our own worst enemy but self-doubt is the enemy to success. As I was doing research on scriptures pertaining to self-doubt, I came across this article and I thought it said it perfectly.
We see that Moses, too, had self-doubt. One of my favorite stories is found in Exodus 4, specifically Exodus 4:10-12 (NIV) where the Lord is telling Moses that he wants him to lead the Israelite out of Egypt and Moses says “I have never been eloquent in speaking. I am slow of speech and tongue.” [paraphrased]. And the Lord answered: “who gave man is mouth?….now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say.”
As I prepare for this speaking opportunity that the Lord gave me, I keep repeating this verse over and over again. It’s not me who is eloquent in speaking, but it is the Lord who made my mouth and will help me as I speak and use this opportunity He has given me…….that I prayed to have!!! Self- Doubt……it’s a horrible thing! God is here to help us. Self-doubt comes from the devil. James 4:7 (NIV) – Submit yourselves, then to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
Remember who made you. Remember who overcomes doubt. Submit to Him. Resist the self-doubt creator.
Then Come on Down and enjoy the blessings God has already prepared for you……..the only rule – No Doubting Allowed!
