Questions Galore

Questions questions there are always questions galore L-rd. Guess we were made as inquisiting people seeking answers to enlarge our knowledge. We run to and fro to find the answers but not all the answers can be found.
You seem to sit and lesson to the debates going on, just to see were we are all coming from. How far have we advanced in our intimacy with you, for it is by our questions and answers that tell of our growth.
Have we learn to know Your will?
Have we studied Your Word to follow Your character?
What attributes of Yours have we pick up?
Who’s path are we trotting on?
We all seem to have an opinion, even to things we know nothing about. Everyone wants to be heard even if they are just airing out their head. Didn’t Scripture say “silence is golden”, no, that is one of man’s sayings. Very recently a friend made an astounding statement “We don’t want the G-d in us to be overcome by the character of the humanist in us.” Scripture does say in Ps. 32:3 “When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long.” Therefore through all my questions, pleas and cries, I eventually learned what is needed to be repented of, and thanking a friend for not remaining silent.
And in 1 Pet. 2:15 “For so is the will of G-d, that with well doing you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men.” In paraphrasing, “ignorance is no excuse of the Law,” and I heard a quote from Arthur Burt once saying: “G-d doesn’t need my wisdom but He can do without my ignorance!” So some questions need to be asked to keep from being ignorant.
When You have heard enough of our debates, You step up to the plate to take matters now into Your own hand to straighten out the mess we have dug for ourselves. Surprisingly You did not answer any question directly, in fact seemed to avoid them all together. Why is that? Are all our questions tribal to You? I do not think so, but maybe we are not asking the right questions.
We are not to be challenging You or debating as if we know better or have found a better way. Many times we speak as if in Your name when it is really not. And people follow a blind Shepard for lack of discernment.
What we need is more holy fear, more reverence to You and Your word. For it says in
Prov. 9:10 The fear of the L-rd is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. And in Ps. 111:10 The fear of the L-rd is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do His commandments: His praise endureth for ever.
In all the questions one has asked, You seem to politely put us all back into our place just by not answering a single one of the direct questions, but reminding us who’s great and marvelous plan everything was in the first place.
Who is in control is the one that created everything, not the creation.
Those six marvelous questions You came back with reminds us that we are but clay in the Potter’s hand. Having Your favor from time to time did not make us surpass the Creator in all seeing and all wisdom.
Those therefore that would thrive must have an eye to Your blessing, and acknowledge their obligations to You for Your blessing. The last days of a good person sometimes prove their best days, their last works their best works, their last comforts their best comforts; for Your path, like that of the morning-light, shines more and more to the perfect day.
In respect of outward prosperity You are pleased sometimes to make the latter end of a good person’s life more comfortable than the former part of it has been, and strangely to outdo the expectations of Your afflicted people, who thought they should never live to see better days, that we may not despair even in the depths of adversity. We know not what good times we may yet be reserved for in our latter end.
What we do know is that Your DNA was placed in us; all we need to do is let it shine forth as we serve You without all those doubting questions for we know all things are done for Your glory. We see only in part but You see the whole picture and we place our trust in You.
