Who? What? Where? Why? When? How Long?

There are over 3000 questions in the Bible? Beginning in Genesis when Satan asks Eve, "Did God really say, 'You must not eat from any tree in the garden'?" to Revelations where the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God..., cried out, "How long Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?"

Some of the questions, God asked. For example, when Elijah flees to Horeb and hides in a cave, God asked him, "What are you doing here, Elijah'?"

Poetic questions come from the book of Job, with God asking, "Who shut up the sea behind doors..., Where does darkness reside?....Have you entered the storehouses of the snow?"

On one occasion, an expert in the law asked Jesus, "What must I do to inherit eternal life?" Jesus responded with a question of His own, "What is written in the law? How do you read it?"

Who, what, where, why, when, how long....?

We ask questions at home, at work, with friends. We ask ourselves inside our private thoughts.

Ask and it shall be given to you; seek and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you... Matthew 7:7-8

Questions are okay. More than likely, it develops intimacy with God. Asking doesn't mean you'll get what you want. Maybe, it's what God wants for you. Maybe, he's telling you to be patient.

3000 some questions....

Do you know how many times in the Bible God tell us not to be afraid? According to my research, it is 365 times that He tells us, "Fear not." How may days in a year? Guess he made His point....


Ask your questions. But, also don't be afraid. It's in His hands.
