       But part of our problem as people is that we don’t really believe God for what he says. Many a times, I don’t think we really believe that God is in as much control as he is in control. We may see something bad happen in our world and think, “Hmm. Is God really in control?” The Bible, though, tells us that God is in control, and we should believe him when he says this. But I think many of us suffer from having to see something to really believe it. Many of us have Thomas’ problem. Remember what is written in John chapter 20. The disciples had just seen Jesus risen from the dead, but it is written of Thomas: “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” (John 20:25, ESV). And I think many of us are like that. We just wont believe God for what he says. Sometimes God has to do miracles to get his point across, but then often we still wont believe it. For Thomas, Jesus had to appear to him. It is recorded: “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.”
