SEE TO BELIEVE

If we could only SEE JESUS, then we could BELIEVE; after all, "SEEING IS BELIEVING".  Did Pharaoh believe after seeing GOD'S miracles through Moses?  Or did Jezebel believe after seeing GOD'S Miracles through Elijah?  "...Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the Glory of GOD..." (John 11:40)?  FAITH is the assurance and conviction that GOD'S CHARACTER and PROMISES are TRUE; and BELIEF is the ACTING ON THIS FAITH.  Scripture tells us, BELIEVING comes before SEEING.   In our "selfish doubtfulness" do we seek PROOF AND NOT TRUTH?   If we ask TO SEE IN ORDER TO BELIEVE,  aren't we insulting and doubting the WORD OF GOD?  Aren't we the farthest from GOD, WHEN WE HAVE TO "SEE TO BELIEVE"?
