A good question
March 24, 2022
“I’d like a good answer.” How often have we heard those words. Parents say it to their teens. Employers ask that of their employees. Being truthful, don’t we often ask that of God? Maybe we say it gently. In times of great distress, we may even shout.
Often better than a good answer is a good question. How often did Jesus answer a question with a question? Lots of times. His motive was always pure, not dodging the question. He wanted folks to think. He held up a mirror so they could face reality, their own bias, their own agenda.
So be ready, my friend, if you ask God a question, He may answer with a question.
One of his questions might be, “Are you ready, regardless of the outcome?”
