The Truth.

“And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother’s keeper?”

Cain knew that he had killed his brother but he was not willing to admit that he had done wrong. God asked him a question and he avoided the question by asking another question. It isn’t good for us to avoid God’s questions by asking other questions. When we come to Him we should come and expose our hearts to His gaze; even though He knows every thought and attitude that we have even before we have them, we need to be willing to own our thoughts and attitudes before God and then we can take advantage of His grace.

If a person wants to continue a conversation, the sales experts tell us that we must always ask questions and ask questions that need more than just a one word answer. However, in our dealings with God it is better to listen than to speak. He has the wisdom that we need to live the best life that we can live. However, if we do have a question, we are angry or in despair then we should bring the question to God. The Psalms are the poems that teach us how to pray and the word “Why?” occurs 24 times in 15 verses. There is plenty of evidence in the Bible to encourage us to ask any of the questions, “Why?”, “Where?”, “How?”, “When?” and “Where?”. The best person to ask these questions is our God for He has all the answers and He is the source of all truth (see John 14: 6).
