On Earth

Have you ever been at a place in your salvation where you began to question God and the 

Kingdom?  Have you ever wanted to just quit this whole salvation thing?  If you answer 

was yes to either of those questions, then you are not alone.  I’m sure that many believers 

have sat in the seat of doubt at one time or another.  Lately, I’ve been pondering what it is 

that makes us go from mountain top belief one day into the valley of sheer doubt the next.  

If you are asking that question, too, then I have one of the reasons for you. 

While in church a few Sundays ago, I was praying the Lord’s Prayer along with everyone 

else.  I asked myself, “How many times have I recited this prayer?”  I am sure that if I 

tried calculating it, the number would be too numerous to count.  Anyway, when we got 

to the part that says, “Thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven,” I 

realized at that moment that most people are still waiting for their lives to be on earth as it 

is in heaven.  And the problem with some Christians is that their life is not as God says it 

is in heaven.  And the reason why is doubt enters in their hearts when they get tired of 

waiting for the manifestation of their miracle.  I believe that the doubt which we 

sometimes go through is the very thing that is holding up the blessing that we’re so 

desperate for.  After waiting for so long, you get to the point of weariness in your waiting 

and you begin to think that it will never happen to you.  Imagine what your life would be 

life if Satan never tricked you into doubting God.  If you can’t see it, let me describe it to 

you. 

Life without doubt would look something like this.  First of all, you’d never worry or 

even think about money because after all, your Father owns the cattle on a thousand hills, 

and you live in a mansion on a street made of gold.  And don’t forget that David said he’s 

never seen the righteous forsaken nor God’s seed begging.”  Also, you wouldn’t be ill for 

long because there are no sick folk in heaven, so there are no sick folk on earth. And you 

would always be at peace and full of joy because you would be worshipping God both 

day and night with the angels.
