Today’s Blessing (4.06)

Blessed are You, O’LORD our G_d, King of the universe, Creator of all things that You would give us permission to ask You questions.

Blessed are You, O’LORD our G_d, King of the universe, Creator of all things for giving us examples of Abraham, Moses, and David as great men who questioned You.

Blessed are You, O’LORD our G_d, King of the universe, Creator of all things that You are big enough to handle all of our questions.

I have been so moved over the past several years at how open G_d is to hearing our questions…how He delights in our inquisitiveness. The first prayer of Abraham in covenant was to question G_d’s own justice toward Sodom. David spends all his psalms peppering G_d with question after question. Moses stands before G_d and questions His decision making. How big of a G_d we have that He is willing to hear, listen, and at times answer our questions.

What question are you longing to ask G_d?

>I find it rather interesting that of the handful of people that have ‘voted’ on the poll…not a single person has selected Debt…the reason that I find this so odd is that that is the dominant language used in our church culture.

  • Jesus paid for our sins.
  • Our debt  has been settled.
  • Wages of sin.
  • Parable of the Unforgiving Servant (not forgiving another debt after his debt was forgiven)
  • Lord’s Prayer – “Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors.“
I wish there were a way to allow people to ‘list’ what their other is on the poll…but since I’m incapable of figuring that out…if you are willing I’d like you to explain your other in the comment section of this post! Please…I’d love to know!
