A Minute on Faith Day 7: Listen To God, Not Your Doubts with Rick Warren

http://www.saddleback.com/daringfaith – The moment you take a step of faith related to your finances, family, career, or spiritual growth—the moment you set any kind of goal—there will be people who say, “Who do you think you are? It can't be done, forget about it!”

Just imagine all the doubters in Noah's life. How would you like to be Noah's next-door-neighbor?: “That guy Noah, he thinks God speaks to him, but he's just ruining all of our property values by building that boat in his front yard.” And imagine the pressure Noah got from his own family: “Why can't you just get a normal job? Everybody thinks we’re weird!”

But the biggest doubts will come from the way you talk to yourself. You are the most influential doubter in your life. The question is, whose voice are you going to listen to?

Noah didn’t listen to the voices of doubt from without or within. In faith, Noah followed God’s instructions.

Faith means listening to God’s voice and not the voices of doubt, no matter who they belong to.

Has God told you to do something you have never done before? Do what Noah did. Step out in faith. Listen to God, not to your doubts.
