I confess, when someone repeatedly asks me for the same information, I can get a little impatient. I am so glad God does not get impatient with my questions. Because I ask a lot of them. And I love that He gives generously and ungrudgingly to ALL who ask. He doesn’t complain or criticize, because He wants us to grow in wisdom. He knows that we need wisdom to endure the testing of our faith. I will say, though, there are times when God does not answer all our questions. That, too, is a testing of faith. Sometimes we have to give up our right to know and simply trust that HE knows…and that is enough. I think that’s one of the biggest faith growth-spurts. As we mature, we tend to seek Godly wisdom from the correct point of view—bringing glory to Him—and our wisdom grows.
