Asking God Questions
24th September 2006
“If God appeared to you today and gives you a chance to ask Him one question, what would it be?”
At church this morning, the pastor posed this question to us and gave us a chance to talk about what our question might be with each other. There were quite an intriguing array of questions people suggested.
One lady next to me said she would like to find out when He is returning. Another asked if he was in the center of God’s will. Yet another asked if she could find out the real meaning of the gospel.
One question that I might be tempted to ask is, “What are you doing, Lord?” In the past, I have asked quite a few questions. Not so long ago, I agonized over a painfully personal one. But the tone and intention of such questions now seem almost too presumptuous to me and I now have the impulse of putting my hands over my mouth, as Job did when confronted with the majesty of God, after initially demanding God for answers to some really tough questions. So, perhaps, I might just have to be silent before Him.
But, if given one question to ask the Lord, what might that be? I think it might be this: “Why do you love so much?” I think that question might be help me to plumb the depths of who God is, and give me glimpses to the mysteries of life.
Well, what about you? What if you were given a chance to ask God one question? What might that question be?
