Questions

Questions?? Questions?? Questions??

We all have questions. Why do bad things happen to good people? Why do evil people gain riches? Why does that six year old have cancer?

On and On the questions go. We cry out to God and we don't understand.

Today I found this in Jon Courson’s Application Commentary. It really spoke to me and I hope it will bless you.

God comes to us not to answer, but as the Answer. The peace He brings doesn’t come from understanding. It transcends, passes, surpasses, and supersedes understanding. You will never have an answer for many of the questions stirring within you. But you’ll find that God Himself is the Answer and that He’ll give you a peace that passes understanding.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6-7

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.
Proverbs 3:5-6
