What God Already Gave: Answers

It's not just true today. For centuries, men and women have looked for answers.

Life often doesn't make sense. The world around us is filled with enigmas and uncertainties.

Only one Person knows the answers, so our prayers are filled with questions. We ask and wonder.

We ask God for something He already gave: Answers.

One Book holds those answers.

Sometimes we have to dig to discover them, like treasure that can only be found by a map and patience and adventure.

But if we dig, we will discover the answers God already gave.

Jesus was asked many questions while He was on earth. If you do the math, you discover He only answered a small percentage of those questions. Many of His answers were questions in return.

One response seemed to be a favorite of His:

"Did you never read in the Scriptures. . .?" (Matthew 21:42)

The people of His day knew and believed He could answer their questions. They wondered who He was and misunderstood why He came.

What they didn't realize--what He wanted to hammer home to them--was this: God already gave them the answers.

It's no different today. The canon of Scripture is closed. God doesn't speak audibly.

He already spoke, and He already gave us the answers.

What are you asking God today?

It might take some mining to hear the answer. It might require long hours alone with Him. A concordance, a journal, and a copy of the Scriptures.

In fact, most likely it will.

But if you're asking God for answers, He already gave them.

Let's not miss His answers in the conundrum of questioning and the danger of a dusty Bible.

"He answered and said, "It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone,

 but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God." (Matthew 4:4)
