I once heard Dr. Myles Munroe say doubt is normal for every human being. Today reading John 20 with Thomas I realized it is true. no matter how many times Thomas saw Jesus during the Passover where he predicted his death and how he would rise on the 3rd day, or where he healed the sick. Thomas would still doubt, doubt allows us raise question about our believes but it is doubt that leads to unbelief that we want to avoid because this brings death. That which leads to life brings belief in Christ Jesus and in his life at work in us is ok.
Job went through affliction but never doubt but said that God should take his life. That is the perseverance of a servant who is sold out. Job did doubt but he didn’t waiver in his trust in God. no matter the amount of times we see Jesus, a heart that will doubt will doubt.
Don Moen sang we want to see your glory (to see God face), we want to know your grace (to hear what God has to say about our life) but it requires humility to bow before him and listen for his voice. Before God is welcomed in us. Moses could not see Gods face at Mount Sinai but walked with God still, Jabez didn’t see God’s glory in his life but sought the lord in humility. It boils down to faith/ trust in God.
David says as I say even in when I feel secure, I shall never be shaken. Psalm 30: 6.
