Daily Walk Through the New Testament
September 10
Read John 20:11-31

Thomas wanted to see Jesus’ wounds for himself before he would believe Jesus had risen. After 8 days of doubting, he saw Jesus and declared, “My Lord and My God!” (John 20:28). But the Lord calls us to be more trusting of Him. We are to walk not by sight but by faith. We are blessed when we believe without having seen.
Doubt is often born in fear. Maybe you fear rejection or not being loved. Maybe you fear poverty, poor health or death. While suffering is part of life on earth, God is able to meet your needs and carry you through every hardship you’ll ever face. He tells His people not to fear. In a dangerous storm, Jesus told His disciples not to be afraid — He, the Almighty, was with them. Jesus also said, “In Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world” (John 16:33). Fear not! Jesus is alive!
Honor the Lord by trusting His love and power. Build your faith and be led to worship by reading His Word. Find peace in His promises and praise Him with your life.
