Seems fitting here:

Quote:
Today's Scripture
Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
John 20:29, NIV
Quote:
Don’t Rely on Signs
Friend, when Thomas heard that Jesus had risen from the dead, he said that he wouldn’t believe unless he saw the physical evidence. You haven’t seen it, but you keep believing. God says that because you believe without a sign, blessing is coming, healing is coming, victory is coming. Don’t be a Thomas and say, “God, show me a sign, open this door, change my circumstances, then I’ll believe.” God is looking for people who believe without a sign, who don’t need the evidence to prove to them that He is working.

It’s great when you get a sign, but don’t rely on signs. Don’t become dependent on seeing first and then believing. Your faith needs to kick in when there’s no evidence. Instead of asking God to prove to you what He’s going to do, turn it around and prove to God who you are. Prove to Him that you’re not going to be moved by what you don’t see or give up because things aren’t changing. Prove that you’re going to stand in faith when every circumstance says it’s never going to happen.

A test of faith rewarded:

Genesis 22

Quote:
Some time later God tested Abraham. He said to him, “Abraham!”

“Here I am,” he replied.

2 Then God said, “Take your son, your only son, whom you love—Isaac—and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on a mountain I will show you.”

3 Early the next morning Abraham got up and loaded his donkey. He took with him two of his servants and his son Isaac. When he had cut enough wood for the burnt offering, he set out for the place God had told him about.

4 On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance.

5 He said to his servants, “Stay here with the donkey while I and the boy go over there. We will worship and then we will come back to you.”

Sure, they have free will but their mind doesn't work correctly and can't tell the difference between right and wrong, right?
That’s not for us to decide.

Didn't ask you to. But surely you have your own opinion, right?
