Following by Faith

Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here;see my hands. Reach out your hand and put itinto my side. Stop doubting and believe.” – John 20:27

We live in a world that is full of doubt and unbelief; a world that needs proof before we will believe. In our world we live by sight not by faith. Thomas was a man from our world, not wanting to believe in the resurrection until he could actually see and touch the living Jesus.

How much are we like Thomas. Do our doubts arise when we don’t see God at work? Does our unbelief increase when we can’t see how God is answering our prayers? Following Christ is not about following by sight, but following by faith. Jesus calls us not to believe in him because of what we have seen, but believe in him because God has given us the faith to believe what we have not seen. This is true faith and true faith leaves very little room for doubt and unbelief.

Prayer: Thank you God for the faith that you have placed within me. Help me to walk by faith and not by sight, so that my faith in you will grow every day. Amen.

Faith Tip: Are you waiting on a sign from God in order to believe? If so then stop waiting and walk by faith and fully trust and believe in God.
