Daily Wisdom for Women - January 11, 2023

 January 11, 2023 -  The Why Questions - "Isaac prayed to the Lord on behalf of his wife because she was childless.  The Lord heard his prayers, and his wife Rebekah conceived.  But the children inside her struggled with each other, and she said, 'Why is this happening to me?'  So she went to inquire of the Lord."  Genesis 25: 21-23

 

Regarding my post yesterday---I had plenty of Why questions about the event that bothered me.  However, I really didn't take it to the Lord in prayer.  I didn't look at the big picture like I should have.  Instead I fussed and fumed and let myself bristle with hurt when I shouldn't have.  If I had just gone to God and asked Him why, but even that wasn't what was important.  Looking at the bigger picture, it really was no big deal and with the COVID positive test, that meant that we didn't have to cancel or explain or whatever.  

The focus today is this:  when there is a 'why,' there is only one answer, and that one answer comes from God.

Three things to remember:

1.  God alone holds all the answers 

2.  God alone is the ultimate source of wisdom

3.  God alone can and will answer our specific questions

Truth!

Lord, You are the source of all wisdom.  So I come to You now, asking why this is happening to me--knowing that You will answer, You will give me whatever guidance I need.  Amen.
