Why ask why?

(Nancy) The main point I saw in the life lesson Pastor Dan preached this past Sunday at CrossPoint SevenLakes was to leave the “why” with God and focus on the “what” of whatever situations and relationships God has placed us. A Scripture he shared has stayed with me all week:

The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of this law. (Deuteronomy 29:29 NIV)

I once heard that we should “walk in the light that we have” before expecting God to give us more and more light.

This morning I came across:

[Jesus said] “…rejoice that your names are written in heaven.” At that time Jesus, full of joy through the Holy Spirit, said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this was your good pleasure.

“All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and no one knows who the Father is except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.”

Then he turned to his disciples and said privately, “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see. For I tell you that many prophets and kings wanted to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.” (Luke 10:20b-24 NIV)
