Doubting Thomas

The Daily Bread for today is focused on the disciple Thomas.

Can a believer in Jesus who has occasional doubts about matters of faith ever be effective in serving the Lord? Some people think that mature and growing Christians never question their beliefs. But just as we have experiences that can build our faith, we can also have experiences that cause us to temporarily doubt [...] A time of doubt doesn’t have to become a life pattern. Allow God to lead you into a deeper understanding of His reality. Renew your faith. You can still accomplish great things for Him.


Since I referenced a song last time, I thought I'd mention the song "Move" by Mercy Me. Here's the chorus.

When life won't play alongAnd right keeps going wrongAnd I can't seem to find my wayI know where I am foundSo I won't let it drag me downOh, I'll keep dancing anyway
I'm gonna move (move)I'm gonna move (move)
 I'm gonna move (I'm gonna move)


P.S. Sometimes when I look through what I have written here, I'm tempted to "edit" things to make it seem like I don't struggle and have doubts. But I do (have doubts). Apparently that's ok, as long as I can learn something from what I've experienced and take it with me when "brighter days" come. These posts can be like my pile of rocks Joshua 4 mentions as "being there to this day" as a testament to God's provision for the Israelites as they were coming into the Promised Land.
