Don’t Be A Thomas

“….Except I shall see the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.” John 20:25b

Probably the greatest example in the New Testament of a doubter was Thomas. He was one of the disciples who walked with Jesus. Like Thomas, many of us have to be shown something to believe. We look for signs and wonders.

Jesus will make His presence known if we will free ourselves from sin and doubt. He is waiting with mercy and patience to help us while we are looking for proof. Often we are distracted by our circumstances and a lack of faith. Don’t wait for some miraculous and dramatic event to occur before trusting God for the answers we need daily. Be calm in His presence and do as Jeremiah 33:3 says, “Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.” We need to fine-tune our prayer life, and spend extra time with Him. He will guide and direct and we will see Him as Thomas did, “my Lord and my God.” (John 20:28)
