My Least Favorite Part of "The Story" PDF E-mail
In the story of the post-resurrection events, there is one portion that I don't care for.  I probably shouldn't admit this in a public place like this especially since it is the Bible and the Lord's actions I am referring to!  But I am committed to being true to our Blog sub-title "Celebrations and Struggles in our Life with God."  So, I struggle with the week of silence between the expressed doubt of Thomas and the next appearance of Jesus.  If you read John 20:26 you'll see that 8 days pass!  What was going on then?  Where was Jesus?  What was Thomas doing?  Arrrggghhh.  Why did Jesus wait so long to manifest Himself to this seeker of truth?  I know it reveals my weakness with waiting and my struggle with Sovereign timing.  I wonder what He will ask me to wait for...and how long I'll have to wait...and what is the point?

“Because you have seen me you have believed” Maybe God was giving Thomas time to believe w/o having to see. Think how different that meeting would have been if Thomas believed without seeing.

We also need to wait on the Lord for answers even in a world with fast food and instant pudding because it's good for us. Jas 1:4

Reminds me of God's control over my life and not my own control. While waiting on the Lord, I try to search my heart for things that are blocking His revelation to my situation...Bible, Godly friends.

I am reminded of John 11:5-6 "Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. So, when he heard that Lazarus was ill, he stayed two days longer in the place where he was." I have a lot to learn.

It's often when I don't hear God speaking directly about something that I begin to doubt and wonder, so I appreciate knowing others do to.
