The man found a note from his wife. It was placed on the fridge and stated, “This isn’t working.” He concluded, “I’m not sure what she’s talking about. I opened the fridge door and it’s working fine!”
Humorous, but we find the same ADHD in the Scripture. Thomas had a bad case of it. After three years of intense training as a disciple, he still didn’t have it together.
John 11:16
So Thomas, called the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, “Let us also go, that we may die with him.”
John 14:5
Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?”
John 20:24-25
Now Thomas, one of the twelve, called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord.” 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.”
For those of you with ADHD, don’t spend time being discouraged. The Lord kept working with Thomas and He’ll get you through. It may be that you are the twin to Thomas.
Give it some thought.
