Lessons from Questions
Throughout Jesus' time on earth He very often taught by asking questions of those around Him. I love questions. I often teach and coach others by answering a question with a question. Why do this? Is asking a question when people expect an answer rude? Is it presumptuous? Is it easier to give your answer rather than help people reason and think? If you don't think this is true, just try this on your children.
In the past few months during my personal quite time, as the Lord has directed me, I have started writing down questions of myself. Jesus used this. I do with it others. Why not do it to me? Even in scripture we are taught to "Search me O Lord and "check me out with a microscope". See if there is any deep, hidden stuff in my life, magnify it." Scary! Do I really want God to put that kind of scrutiny on me? Is there a secret closet of my life that I think no one sees? Do I really want to think about confessing it? I ask myself these questions all the time because that's what I've been taught to do. But, I want to present to you a question that I doubt you normally ask of yourself. It's just one. Only you can answer it.
Based on 1 Cor. 10:22, "What do I have in my life that could provoke the Lord to jealousy?"
Begin by asking yourself where are my priorities? Write this stuff down, guys. Journal it. Keep it for your kids to learn from. Don't kid yourself. We all have something.
