"Many of the questions we ask God can't be answered directly, not because God doesn't know the answers but because our questions don't make sense. As C.S. Lewis once pointed out, many of our questions are, from God's point of view, rather like someone asking, 'Is yellow square or round?' or, 'How many hours are there in a mile?'. Jesus gently puts off the question. 'It isn't for you,' he says, 'to know the times and periods which the Father has set by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will be my witness in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth' (Acts 1.6-8).
- From "God's breath of life" in Simply Christian by Tom Wright.
What sort of questions have you asked the Lord, or are asking Him today?"
