When Life is full of questions. God has answers.
We plan for the best. We hope for the best. But sometimes what seems to be the best never comes. But, what if life is teaching us something.
What if, what we go through is working something in us that we cannot see?
What if, there is a purpose and a plan for everything?
What if, there is actually purpose for our pain?
Life is full of questions.
What if, I had taken that job?
What if, they hadn’t left?
What if, I had done this or hadn’t done that?
Life is full of questions.
And we question because we are curious.
It is the very motivator for learning. And as human beings, we are innately curious. We spend much of our time seeking and consuming information.
In this information age in which we live, when we want to know something, we can just google it. Or we can just simply ask Siri or Alexa.
But when there are seemingly no answers to our questions, we continue to drive further and further. In order to get to some resolve.
Hence, the expression “curiosity killed the cat”.
We literally go after answers, at times, until utter exhaustion. Mentally, spiritually and physically.
But questions, in and within themselves, are not a bad thing. The bible itself is filled with many questions. Questions from patriarchs of old, New Testament heroes and questions from Jesus himself.
In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus asks in Luke 22:39, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me.”
We can agree that Jesus was at a pivotal point in his journey. One that we all know was a matter of life and death. And he had questions.
So, if Jesus had questions. There is no reason for us to not have questions.
Even further, if we were to read through some of the questions in the bible carefully, we would find ourselves in some of them. If not most of them.
Wondering, asking, thinking, pondering and waiting for answers.
But when we search the scriptures. What we’ll also find is some resolution.
And what we’ll also find, is God at the very center of every answer.
His will. His plan. His purpose.
Every. Single. Time.
When Life is full of questions. God has answers.
And we can find every answer in God’s Word.
