Questioning God

Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation? Tell me if you understand. Job 38:4.

How many questions do we have for God? As a pastor I am often asked questions about God that I am not able to answer.

For many questions - God alone has the answer. I was not there when he laid the earth's foundation. My wisdom pales in comparison to his foolishness (see 1 Corinthians 1:25).

For all these questions we have for God - have you ever considered that God has some questions for us. Many of these questions we find in the Bible.

Here are a few:
Why are you so afraid? (Matthew 8:26)
Why did you doubt? (Matthew 14:31)
Who do you say that I am? (Matthew 15:16)
What is that in your hand? (Exodus 4:2) - What has God given you to serve him?
Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation? (Job 38:4)

Maybe we should spend a little more time listening for the question than looking for the answer!
