Let’s think some more about asking questions. Often people don’t ask questions because they are afraid of looking stupid.
We’ve all experienced this. Some teacher is going on and on about who knows what and you are sitting there nodding your head and smiling, thinking, “What is he saying?”
But what if everyone else is doing the same thing? As far as you can tell, you’re the only one who isn’t getting it, when all along, maybe no one is. Who’s going to be the first to admit it? This is when the thirst to know wins out over your need to be like everyone else.
The act of asking, seeking, and knocking is a never-ending circle of blessing. It is God’s way of drawing us near to Him. Belief is never a static thing. We don’t ever “get something down.” There are no folding chairs and seminar notebooks at the cross. There is no quiz. Life with Christ is an adventure – discovering all that we are in Him.
My wife, as a new Christian, would have been a challenge to any pastor. Fortunately her first one was ready for her. He actually delighted in her questions and her directness. She tells the story about his response to her question, “How do I know that what you are saying is the truth?”
His answer was, “You don’t,” as he extended his gift to her – her first Bible. “Dig deep into these scriptures, dear girl, and never stop asking until you truly know with all of your heart, mind, and soul.”
That was almost 40 years ago, and believe me, Marti is still asking.

Truly the Bible is one of those ‘the more you know, the more you want to know’ kind of books. It seems both the questions and answers have no end to their depth. And just when you think you have an answer down-pat, then a life experience or another person questions something and you realize you have to start over learning again how it relates to God and His responses.
Sidenote: We are praying for y’all, I know the “wave” isn’t supposed to be as bad over there but it’s still more than the norm and there’s always someone who will think it’s very cool to go surf it!
One of my favorite things, or sayings I learned in college of engineering is “the dumbest question is the one never asked.”
There is one question I ask, time and again, that is,”Lord I know we are a chosen people, but do you have to choose to test us ALL THE TIME?? Couldn’t we be off the hook occasionally and you go choose someone else?” Guess we can all hear Him saying that He chose us so that we could grow.
However, a wise old friend of mine encouraged me to keep on asking questions, saying that our Lord will answer our questions in His time. If there was only one thing I learnt, it’s patience…
One of the things I absorbed in too many years of school is to ask questions. Many questions. There’s-no-such-thing-as-a-stupid questions.
In my previous job, I behaved as usual. But one day, my boss said to me “you ask too many questions. My mind’s first response was “what do you mean?” That response remained silent (to show the boss that I do in fact learn). But the episode was a definite sign that they were not the right people for me to be working for. It’s the first job I’ve ever quit on account being unhappy with it.
