Questions & Answers

Have you ever asked God to make something clearer? Have you ever asked the Lord for an answer to a question that has been on your mind or heart? Sometimes the answers we are looking for aren't given to us right away. I love to be organized, know what's coming, and have a back up plan for the plan. I love answers and information to help me get where I need to be in life. Yet, I have realized that life lessons don't usually get answered quickly. I don't get to ask Jesus why and get the answer without learning, without growing, and without clinging to Him with every fiber in me that He fashioned with His own hands. Tonight, I was thinking that even if everything is going well in our lives and we still don't have an answer to a question that is lingering in our minds maybe that question is there so we will follow Jesus even closer than we would had we had the answer. I have been struggling with a question I have been praying to Jesus to answer, to give me some insight on, to show me what I need to learn, or to just make it leave my mind but in all that what I realized is that I was praying, begging, and being with Christ. It never occurred to me that the question itself could be the answer! The torment of the unanswered question drove me further into the place I always long to be, at the feet of Jesus. Who knew an unanswered question would bring me so much joy and satisfaction? Finding myself on my face before the Lord, diving into Him and His Word is the greatest answer I could ever hope to receive.
