Doubt is a status between belief and disbelief and involves uncertainty, a lack of trust, and also involves a lack of sureness of an alleged fact, an action, a motive, or a decision. Doubt brings into question what is right and what is wrong. This allows for the mind to be suspended between two contradictory propositions and unable to assent to either of them, therefore creating a paradox.
Faith is confidence or trust in a person or thing. It may also be a belief and does not have to be based on proof. Faith is a word that seems to be easier to understand than doubt and grasp on to as a positive way to melt away the layers of doubt that seem to be prevalent in the minds of too many Americans these days. This cloud of doubt appears to be getting denser with the winds of time as it makes it way across this great nation of ours.
We seem to be preoccupied with this cloud of uncertainty, distrust, and lack of sureness that is keeping us from making the right decisions. The biggest decision seems to be what is right and what is wrong. What is right just involves common sense and the lack is what causes things to be wrong. There ain't no doubt about that.
Allow me to give an example of the difference between what is right and what is wrong. Most people in America have neighbors. If both neighbors own a dog, it is each persons responsibility to make sure "fido" is being responsible, therefore doing the right thing. Herein lies right from wrong. Responsible neighbors keep their canine pet on their property, not allowing their loving pet to destroy their neighbors property, therefore doing the RIGHT thing. Irresponsible neighbors allow their loving pet to destroy your property and bite you and your children, this would be WRONG. Seems so simple to be right, yet lots of people choose to do the wrong thing.
My point is, if we would choose to do more of the right thing, using the common sense we need to have, we will create the faith to erase the doubt about the direction in which our nation is headed. Each of us can erase the doubt about our future, but only if we put faith in the drivers seat and do the right thing.
Put your faith to work today and do the RIGHT thing.
Put your faith in America.
