Hey, I have heard a few people lately say you are not to question God.\u00a0 I was wondering where that came from?\u00a0 I did a search online to see what others say, and I saw that many use the scripture from Romans\u00a09:20\u00a0(KJV):<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Very interesting.\u00a0 Vince and I were talking about how many in the Bible did question God about their situation, like David, who many times throughout the Psalms questioned God, and not only that, but some complained to Him (Moses being one).\u00a0 I was just curious about this.\u00a0 It seems to be a pretty big belief for some.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks!<\/span><\/p>\n

Hi Amy,<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, the “don’t question God” idea is out there.\u00a0 There are even songs with that idea in the lyrics.\u00a0 The Bible teaches otherwise.\u00a0 Who better to ask questions to, than the One who knows all the answers?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

We are supposed to seek God, and ask Him why He is doing what He does.\u00a0 How else will we ever find out?\u00a0 I wrote about this in my book,<\/em> Suffering and the Saints<\/a><\/span>:<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Ask God why.\u00a0 Have you ever heard someone say that he never questions God?\u00a0 That is so contrary to faith!\u00a0 God wants us to know Him and His ways, and He invites us to ask Him for knowledge and understanding.\u00a0 All the righteous men and women in the Bible accepted God\u2019s invitation to seek Him for answers and zealously sought God for them.\u00a0 The question, \u201cMy God, my God, why have you forsaken me?\u201d came from the lips of the Son of God.\u00a0 He knew that God loved him and would not be angry with him for asking.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Amen! It’s wonderful to be reminded of this, to be reminded of how much our Father loves us.<\/span><\/p>\n
