Question
On "Star Trek The Next Generation" Data was always going around saying query. He was a smart android to do so. Humans are always trying to rationalize and figure things out but, a lot of times with out all the facts. Questions are a very useful tool in so many areas of life. Because it is how I can attain a lot of the information I need to make wise choices and decisions. I have learned to question my feelings, motives, things I don't know, or understand, and more. I find this is good for me. I especially ask God questions, which He answers with thoughts, feelings, scripture, signs, and words through other people. Because of my relationship with Him I am not ashamed or afraid to ask Him anything, nor to talk to Him about anything. I ask Him things like, "Why do I have trouble with my tongue?" "Why can't I get control over my weight?" "What should I do to help my husband with his problem?" and so on and so forth. Because of my relationship with God I have found no question is to big or to small, or to personal, or to anything for Him. He wants me to ask. Because He knows that I ask in order to learn what is right. So that I may obey Him and do what is good and right. You see I truly am His child, and like all children I really wont knowingly do what's right until I gain understanding. I also know that He will give me truthful answers, and ones that are for my own good whether I like the answer or not. I also know that He is kind and patient, and will not give me more than I can handle or am ready for. Right now I am going through a time when I have lots of questions. I also believe He is allowing me to really dig for the answers so that I may grow stronger in Him. And that I may possess what I learn so I can stand firm in Him. Every day I can so easily go with out asking God questions. Why? Is it because I don't think to? Or because I am to busy figuring things out for myself? What ever the reason I want that to stop. I want to bring God into every part of my life. I can't do that if I go whizzing through each day not asking questions, talking to Him, or inviting Him in. Even if I don't do it out loud, I should at least do it under my breath, or in my mind, and or in my heart. After all He has all the answers and knows me better than I know myself.
And I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you, seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. Luke 11:9, If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to Him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. James 1:5-6, You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your own pleasures. James 4:3 (or so you can rationalize things to suit your self). Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him. 1John5:14-15,
