On this week's 2-Minute Devotional, Omar Calvillo reflects on Matthew 11:2-3, where John the Baptist, despite being a significant prophet, experiences doubt while in prison. This passage highlights that even strong believers can struggle with faith during tough times. Omar emphasizes that faith involves bringing doubts to Jesus rather than running away, as demonstrated when John sends his disciples to question Jesus, who responds with evidence of His works. The devotional encourages believers to hold on to the truth of God's word through trials and doubts, reassuring that Jesus remains constant. The message concludes with a prayer for strength and faith amidst difficulties.
