24 Now Thomas, one of the Twelve, called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus came. 25 So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and place my finger into the mark of the nails, and place my hand into his side, I will never believe.”
26 Eight days later, his disciples were inside again, and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” 27 Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side. Do not disbelieve, but believe.” 28 Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!” 29 Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
Doubt is such a killer!! When things get tough we often wonder if God is there - doubt! When something good happens we think we did it ourselves - doubt! Whether good or bad, the devil wants us to doubt there is a God. Isn't that what he did to Adam and Eve? "Did God REALLY say..." That's the legacy we live with every moment of our day. Thankfully Christ sent His Holy Spirit to live in us, to counteract DOUBT. I think I really have to learn to make words like "What would praise and honour God at this moment?" my subconscious thoughts all the time because then I would really be loving, trusting and obeying God and not satan (I just can't put a capital on that name :).
