There is power in the questions

We spend huge amounts of our time looking for the answer!

I am convinced if we spent more of our time looking for the questions we need to ask, we would do better. There is huge power in a well defined, thought through and worked out question. This enables us to refine, define and redefine our lives.

The beauty of the process is that your initial questioning will hopefully encourage another question which will draw you deeper into what you are looking at. If you find an answer - especially if you feel you have found the answer - you stop looking. We remain shallow, when what the world most needs right now is deep people.

That's why it is said that "many things are lost in the mysteries of God." If we don't question we remain passive and dependent on other people. They tell us what we think, and what our faith and life should look like. Surely that is between ourselves and our Saviour, when all is said. That is not to say we do not need the counsel of others, but we shouldn't totally depend on it.

Don't waste your next good question!!
