We believe God is omniscient. And yet, from Genesis 1:1 all the way to Revelation 22:21, there are more than 3,000 questions logged in the Bible.
Why?
Why would our All-Knowing God shape so much of His Word into questions?
Consider how questions serve as a powerful tool to connect, dig and uncover. Perhaps God is asking you questions to connect, dig, and uncover your truest desires with you.
Let’s take some time to consider the questions God may be asking.
Highlights:
Why does God ask questions? Part of the answer is that He wants you to pay attention to what is happening you or in your life.
“After this, many of his disciples left. They no longer wanted to be associated with him. Then Jesus gave the Twelve their chance: ‘Do you also want to leave?’ Peter replied, ‘Master, to whom would we go? You have the words of real life, eternal life.’” - John 6:66-68 MSG
What we desire has a capacity to inform our sense about who we are.
Desires can say, “This is what people like you want and what people like you do.”
Desires don’t have the authority to tell us who we are.
When we’re not clear on what we truly desire, we are more likely to act in accordance with who our desires tell us we are.
God wants you to search your heart to understand what you really want.
We are made by God to desire God and we truly aren’t satisfied until we find our satisfaction in Him.
Having a truer vision of who you are and the kind of person you are, of what you’re made for and what you’re made of, that empowers us to say no to temptation and yes to God.
“You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it rests in you.” St Augustine of Hippo.
