“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
Isaiah 55:8-9
You’re not alone.
Habakkuk questioned. How long must I call for help? Hab. 1:2
David questioned. My God, why have you forsaken me? Ps. 22:1
Thomas questioned whether or not Jesus was really alive in John 20.
Even Jesus questioned the crucifixion in Matthew 27:46.
I know I’ve had questions too. Just last week, I wondered why God allowed a mom of three and a high-school senior to be killed in a car accident.
My 10-year-old comes up with some good questions too. Like, why did God make the devil? Does God love the devil?
Hmmm … talk about not having answers.
Still, I think God wants us to talk with Him about our questions. He may not give us answers. But He does promise to give us peace.
Philippians 4:7 says God can give us a peace beyond what we can understand.
I don’t know about you, but that comforts me. Yes, I want answers. But I’m hoping for answers to give me peace. I suppose Jesus knows we really want peace – so he just gives us that.
Will you take your questions to God today? He may not give you the answers, but I pray that He will give you peace.
Dear Father, Please give us peace even when we don’t have the answers we want. In Jesus’ Name, Amen
