Q and A

   "There is only one answer: "O Lord, Thou knowest, I don't." (Oswald Chambers)

   There are a lot of questions out there:

      Why.....?
      What do I.....?
      How do I.....?
      Where do I.....?
      Who should I.....?

   I can fill in the blanks with questions or concerns in my own life, and I look for answers from God. Specific answers to specific questions are what I need so I can plan my life in light of them.

   God knows our thoughts and each of our questions. He knows why we want answers, but the answer that we most need to hear is "I know, and you do not have to right now".

   I ask questions because I don't know. Specific situations come my way and I want to know why, and I want to know how to, and what can I.

   Perhaps the point I need to come to is to be satisfied that God Knows and that He cares and that He will show me my part in the story at the right time. I want to know now so I can be in charge and work it out. God alone is God and I am not.

   So, can I trust God in all of this? Is it enough that He knows?

   Lord, Thou knowest. Help me to know that that is enough.
