Inquiring of the Lord

Passage: I Samuel 23:1-5

It is human nature to want answers to our questions and solutions for our problems.  The human mind is incredibly uncomfortable with uncertainty and ambiguity.  We don’t like not knowing what’s going on and what to do.  We are meaning-seeking creatures.  Covid has shown us that.

Scripture gives us two perspectives on this human drive for meaning.

On the one hand, reality tells us life is a complex mystery and God often calls us to walk by faith and not by sight.  God has given us the book of Ecclesiastes to help us navigate life under the sun when wisdom seems elusive and answers are not what we expect.  For help with this I encourage you to join us on Sunday evenings to dig into this great book.

Scripture also teaches us God is the God of all wisdom who delights to impart wisdom to us through Scripture and prayer.  God is a prayer-hearing and prayer-answering God.
