Second Guessing God

Presented at Curwensville Alliance on 4/12/26 by Rev Bernie Knefley

Listen as Bernie speaks on Luke 24:13-34.

Do you ever second guess God?

In our passage we see the disciples were disappointed, and they were second guessing what they thought was to be. God is often doing things that are different than we are expecting.

When second guessing God, we need to go back to the Word. If you get lost, make your way back to where you knew you were. Sit down with God, and get familiar with His Word.

The disciples thought the cross was the end, but it was just the beginning. If you have ever misunderstood God and His plan or His actions or found yourself confused and perplexed, you are not alone.

Don’t give up! Keep walking and surround yourself with other believers.

Second guessing means we doubt His plan, timing and goodness. We need to trust God in the middle of uncertainty.

Doubt, impatience, feeling lost results in our attempts to take control and make things happen. Instead we need to stand and lean into God. Trust Him. Do the will of God today and repeat that tomorrow and repeat the next day. Keep your eye on Him.
