Thomas, who many of us know as "Doubting Thomas" was with Jesus for 3 years. He listened to his teaching, saw how he related to people, saw miracles time and time again. Yet when Jesus told His disciples that He is going to leave and go to His Father. Thomas asks where and basically says "How am I supposed to know where you are going." Then after the crucifixion he said he won't believe the resurrection unless he can put his fingers in Jesus side. We may think this a bit ridiculous, but I don't think so.
We have the Word of God. We have the testimony of Jesus. We have His promises. And yet! how many times do we find ourselves in depression and discouragement because we just can't see a way out of our mess. We look everywhere but up. God promised to take care of us. He promised not to leave us.
Are you a Doubting Thomas or do you have faith as a mustard seed? That faith can move your mountains! Don't wait to have faith until you can see the end of your problems. "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Heb 11:1
God bless you
