Lead Me On

Scripture: John 20:24-29 (Thomas encounters Jesus)

Devotional: Thomas missed the first encounter with the resurrected Jesus, and doubt consumed him. Thomas demanded proof before belief. His doubt was honest, raw, and deeply human. Rather than reject him, Jesus personally invited Thomas to touch His wounds which moved him from doubt to unshakable faith.

Perhaps you've been wrestling with doubt, questioning God's protection, His promises, or His presence in your situation. Your doubt isn't the end of your faith journey; it can be the doorway to deeper belief.  God isn't intimidated by your questions. He's calling you higher, inviting you to a faith that transcends what you can see or understand. He draws near, offering evidence of His presence and power.
 
Remember, fear or doubt isn't the opposite of faith, it's moving forward despite them. Walking by faith means trusting God even when you cannot see it. Today, bring your honest doubts to Jesus. Let Him meet you personally in your uncertainty. Take one step of faith, obey in one small area where you've been hesitating. Faith grows through action, not perfect understanding.

The man Thomas once doubted, he later died for! What a transformation of doubt to faith. Your questions today can become the foundation for tomorrow's unwavering conviction. Jesus is calling you higher, from the uncertainty of doubt to the confidence of faith that walks without sight.

While writing this, I heard these lines from a song,

I'm not perfect,
I don't always get it right
But I rather walk by faith
And not by my foolish sight

So lead me on
Lead me on
Lead me on
Please lead me on

Reflection: What doubts are you bringing to Jesus for Him to transform into faith? Will you let Him lead you on despite seeing your next step, maybe even leap?
