Don't be afraid to ask God the hard questions. Trust me, He knows the answers. I thought about this after one of our precious little ones approached me last Sunday to ask a great question. "How do we know there is a God?"
It was a pleasure to get down onto his level and explain that we know there is a God because the Bible tells us so. To my surprise he was ready for that answer. "But how do we know that the Bible is real?" At that point I knew this young boy was really probing for some confirmation.
I talked with him for a few minutes about the importance of faith in things that we cannot see. I also explained that God gives us an awareness of Himself in our hearts. That was about as deep as he was ready to go at that time. I'm not sure that I have permanently satisfied his curiosity but I am confident that he will ask again if the need arises.
Don't be afraid to ask. I certainly don't have all the answers. There are times when I have to shrug my shoulders and admit that I just do not know. However, God never has to do that. He truly knows. So, when you really need the answer, go to the source.
