Questions!
I remember as a little kid before I even started school I was a wanderer. I would follow Dad all over the place. He must have gotten tired of me being in the way all the time. I was always asking questions about everything that was going on. I am sure I didn’t understand most of the answers he gave me, but I continued to ask questions anyway.
Then I went to school and teachers began to teach me things I didn’t know. I stopped asking questions for many years. The teachers were asking me questions instead. I found out I didn’t know much and from that point on you would have to call me a wayward son. I went into the military service and later got married, no purpose, no more questions just a lost soul wandering lost in a fog.
I was in a Sunday service one morning and suddenly I realized there had to be something more and I started asking questions once again. My first question was; “There has to be something more than what I have and I want it?”
As a result I experienced the Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. I began to see, hear and then understand spiritual things. The bible opened up to me and I understood many new things. I had many questions and I found many answers. I began to think I really know a lot, until the Lord began to ask me questions that I did not have answers for.
I understand a lot more then I used to. I might be able to answer some of the questions you might ask me, but to be very honest I know very little. There is so much to be known and I know so little. We learn a little and then we think we know it all and it goes to our head and we start coming out with all the answers when we still know so little and should still be asking questions.
We have so many problems in the world, in our government, and in our homes. We think we have all the right answers, but we don’t. The reason we don’t have the right answer is because we don’t know how to ask the right questions, then we might find some answers.
The bible tells us the whole head is sick and it will continue to be sick until we turn to the Lord and receive a mind like Christ. You see the Lord gives us a new mind as well as a new heart. As long as we keep operating from the old mind and heart, we still have the wrong answers, ask the wrong questions and give the wrong advise.
