Read: Psalm 8
What is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man that You visithim? Psalm 8:4
An African proverb states, The one who asks questions doesnt lose hisway. That concept can be helpful as we consider Davids questions in thePsalms. He was clearly seeking Gods guidance for the way he should go.Look, for example, at some of the questions he asked:O Lord how long? (6:3). A question of eagerness to see Gods planaccomplished.
What is man that You are mindful of him? (8:4). A question of awe that Godeven cares about sinful man.Why do You hide in times of trouble? (10:1).
A question that reveals alonging for Gods presence.Lord, who may abide in Your tabernacle? Who may dwell in Your holy hill?(15:1). The ultimate question of who may live with God.David had some tough questions for God. He had discovered what it was liketo lose his way when he excluded God and followed his own sinful path.
Butas he penned the Psalms, he was a man in search of godliness, which meant heprobed Gods mind about difficult subjects.Questions. Like David, you have them. Keep asking. Then, through faith inGods Word and the work of the Holy Spirit, listen as He leads you in Hisway.
*Dave
My mind cries its questions,
My longing heart, joining:O Father,
please hear me!O Spirit, keep teaching!
VerwayIts good to have questions,
but its even better to search for Gods answers.
