Self Doubt

When you doubt yourself don't worry, you are in good company. When God spoke to Moses from the burning bush on the mountain side, he told Moses that he had chosen him to be the deliverer of the nation of Israel. Moses immediately started making excuses as to why he was not qualified to be a deliverer. God had to assure him that he would be with him,that he would be able to do the job, and he did. Gideon is another one that doubted himself. Gideon was hiding when the angel greeted him calling him a mighty man of valor.Gideon was surprised at this greeting. The angel explained to him that God had chosen him to be a judge and leader of the nation of Israel. Immediately Gideon started making excuse as to why he was the wrong guy. How he was weak and scared, how he was the least in his family and several other excuses.The angel had to reassure Gideon that he was the right guy, God would be with him and that he could do the job, and he did.
So when you have thoughts of doubt remember that God is with you and he will help. Just because you have thoughts of doubt whether you can perform the task you have been given, it doesn't mean you can't perform it. You can do the task if you stay focused on the one who started a good work in you and is able to complete it. God wants you to succeed in the things he has called you to do.Self doubt and other kinds of doubt is driven out by faith. By faith in God, faith in what he can do in and through you.
