Doubts

        I have come to realize that no matter how secure you feel in something you will always have doubts even if it is for a brief moment of time. As humans we doubt sometimes if our existence has any meaning or if we will ever do what it is that we are to do in our time here. Life is a fragile thing it is here one day and gone the next, and if we live our lives with doubts then how are we to enjoy the time we have here. I think personally I tend to doubt the good things in my life sometimes, the how on earth could something this good happen to me. Or we think that eventually it will end as all things in this life do... that nothing good can last in this life with all of the horrors in the world around us. I think sometimes we even want the good things to end, setting traps for ourselves to fall into. We start thinking about how life could be different or if I just had this one thing instead of this thing I will be happy. I believe doubts are connected to trying to be satisfied, with all of these doubts we can never be satisfied. Granted we can never be completely satisfied with the things this world has to offer, it is not our home. In this life there will always be that one thing that "Oh if I just had ____, then I would be satisfied. I would never ask for anything again." until we find something new to fill the void with. This life is short and if we are constantly filling it with earthly possessions and passions and never being satisfied by them then how are we not to have doubts.
      So how can we be satisfied? Only by God can we be completely satisfied. Now am I saying that things in this world are evil, not worth your time? No, I am merely saying that if God isn't at the center of life, if he isn't what you are filling that hole in your life with you will always be thirsty for more. There is no end to God, there is no being thirsty with him. We will always have doubts with everything, with your job, marriage, relationships, home, and even with your family but one thing you never have to have doubts about is God. If you are still feeling anxious about anything, read Matthew 6:33-34.
