ISSUING GOD QUERIES
Memorise: And call upon me in the days of trouble: I wit deliver thee, and than shall glorify me. Psalms 50:15
Read: Psalms 50:14-15
The Psalmist, in the midst of his troubles asked questions. Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of Ms countenance. Psalms 42:5 There is 3 difference between questions and queries. He asked why his soul was feeling downcast. In other words, he expected his soul to look up to see the brighter side in the midst of gloom, but the soul was not responding. When you ask God questions but still demonstrate faith in Him and His ability, it is okay. But when your questions do not reflect your past experiences of what you enjoyed from a blossoming relationship with the Lord and your statements lacks faith or even tend towards annoyance, you are already issuing God a query. Before any child of God will issue out a query to God, the fellow must have changed his or her view. He will be seeing God on one side while he is on the other - no longer on the same side with God. He will also feel empowered to a point where he feels he and God are equals or that God is subordinate to him. After all, you cannot issue your boss a query but the other way round.
Similarly, the one who would query God is in doubt of God's love and good intentions. He believes God is negligent, carefree and irresponsible. At such a time, he has believed the lies of the devil; he is seeing God in a new picture painted by Artist Satan. Little wonder his mouth will be speaking the words from the heart of Satan! Beloved, God loves you more than anything else. Or else, how do you classify the One who gave Himself for your salvation and washed you clean in His blood? No matter the situation or event that takes place, His love for you never diminishes as long as you remain in His Kingdom. Believe the best about Him. Believe His good intentions even when you do not understand. You can make excuses for the King of glory because the One who wants your good will not be working against you when you are in right relationship with Him. But do not query God; it will worsen your situation.
ACTION POINT
If God has received several queries from you, go back and ask for forgiveness for ever doubting His love.
