Quote Of The Day

 

"...Suffering makes you curious, and to me, it seems, being inquisitive is in fact a healthy part of prayer. Even Jesus, in His dying hour, asked God a question... Godly people ask God questions, and why shouldn't they? His ways are not our ways. His thoughts are not our thoughts. The way God moves doesn't often align with our own logic since He doesn't share our nature or essence. We run from pain; He uses it. We hate our enemies; He loves them. We try to hold onto our life with clinched fists, and He commands another way. The way of death which somehow, someway, causes us to find the life we thought we were losing...

What if asking God questions is one way to cultivate intimacy with God? What if your questions became a door by which you could be vulnerable with Him? What if your questions opened up your mind to read the Scriptures with Spirit-empowered expectation instead of apathetic drudgery? If, in fact, Jesus is the wisdom of God (1 Cor. 1:24), what if, by asking questions, you discover God; and by finding God, you find your answers?"
