Questions

“You said, “Listen now, and I will speak. When I question you, you will inform me.”” (Job 42:4)
 
Information is readily available today. When we need a quick answer to a question we can use AI, Google, or other internet resources. Though these resources do provide answers to some of the toughest questions on our minds cannot be answered by these resources but only through spending deep contemplative prayer. Listening to God to gain wisdom and a better understanding.

There are questions that the heart aches to ask. Questions relating to why a particular circumstance is happening in our lives, Is God evil, or even pertaining to what happens when we die. These questions have puzzled many within the church and many have tried to answer them over the ages. Questions relating to our faith help us workout our faith enabling us to understand God better, a stronger faith, and encourage us in times of crises.

It is not wrong to ask questions regarding faith. The questions we ask also stretch us they allow us to listen intently to the voice of God to hear his answer. Questions bring us into a deeper relationship with God.
The answers from God often cannot be rushed unlike a couple strokes on a keyboard to ChatGPT. The answers from God often take time, an open heart, and an openness to trust him with unfavorable answers.
 
Heavenly Father, there are questions that we have not sure how to ask may you answer the questions deep within our hearts. May we trust you even when answers are unfavorable.
 
Walking with you,
