"...But he said to them, Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe it." John 20:25
It is only natural for us to doubt at times, because often times seeing is believing. Thomas needed to see the wounds on Jesus before he would believe that Jesus was alive. It is inevitable that we will face a crisis of belief, especially when our faith is tested. When our faith is tested, what is revealed is what you believe about God. Do you have to see a move of God, to believe God's Words are true or do you know without a shadow of a doubt that God is who He says He is? A crisis of belief is not a calamity in your life, but a turning point where you must make a decision. You must decide what you truly believe about God. The way you respond at this turning point will determine whether you will become involved with God in something God-sized that only He can do or whether you will continue to go your own way and miss what He has purposed for your life!
