Once again - Asking the wrong question

Why? Why did God . . . ? Why didn't He . . .?

Well, I don't know why God does many things. I have gotten to the place where, as I have stated before in a previous post, I just ask "Where do we go from here?" I rarely ask "Why?" questions of God anymore.

I think I know the reason I don't ask those kinds of questions: God does not have to answer to me, He is the all-knowing one, wise beyond comprehension! Scripture tells us, "Our ways are not Your ways...". God has the big picture. He is into long range planning as Ephesians 1:4 and 5 tells us.

So, if you are tempted to call our almighty God into account for something you don't understand, I would say to ask yourself if this line of questioning is showing proper awe and reverence? Is getting a rational. humanly acceptable answer more important than trusting the LORD? By asking the alternate question, "Where do we go from here", you are asking for guidance in handling the "Why?" aspect of your circumstance and you can expect an answer to be forthcoming. Doma
