Questions

My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee; So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God. For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding (Proverbs 2:1-6).

Thought For Today: 

Do you ever wish you knew what God is thinking?  Why do people question God when there is a tragedy or unexpected sickness or death?  Does questioning God or denouncing God bring anyone closer to the knowledge of God?  "Then Job answered and said, Even to day is my complaint bitter: my stroke is heavier than my groaning. Oh that I knew where I might find him! that I might come even to his seat! I would order my cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments. I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would say unto me. Will he plead against me with his great power? No; but he would put strength in me" (Job 23:1-6).  Job said, "If I could find God, He would give me the knowledge and understanding that I need and bring strength to me."  The reason many people question God is because they have a lack of knowledge of God. When we understand the difference between God's ways and our thoughts, (Isaiah 55:8-9), and we understand that He is the sovereign Creator, then we can understand what Solomon meant when he said that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge (Proverbs 1:7). If you want to know God, you have to search for God (John 5:39-40), as wisdom calleth. When we gain the knowledge of God, we will stop questioning God.
