Under Our Feet of Certainty

[Doubt - I]

Doubt is not purely a theological “subject” or a religious category.

Doubt is also an emotion. A heavy, dark emotion that’s turned in on the one who bears it . . . because it questions the very legitimacy of the one who feels it.

Doubtfulness.
Doubtful.
Doubting.

These can be directed toward ourself, calling, and gifts.
Our contribution, ideas, and work.
Our understanding, insights, and wisdom.
Our God, truth, and convictions.

While doubt is dark, it is not darkness. It is heavy, but it is not wrong. It is scary, but it is not bad.

If anything, doubt signals immanent growth.

How else can we build a new foundation unless we first dig in the unknown, dark, cold earth beneath our feet of certainty?
