LESSON 7: BE OPEN TO THE ANSWERS
It’s one thing to fight with God, it’s another thing to be open to the answers He will give to the questions you ask.
Since I wasn’t interested in praying, studying the Bible or going to Church, God answered my questions in unconventional ways.
The song, comforter by Cece Winnas spoke deeply to me that God was my comforter despite the pain I was passing through.
I had several dreams that communicated comfort, the two I can still remember vividly was that of a man carrying me on his shoulders while a strong flood washed away houses and other things around. Another was of a man hugging me and telling me sorry while I cried.
I also got answers in movies such as God’s Not Dead and the Case For Christ. These movies answered my questions about God’s love for me and the genuineness of His existence. It spurred me to read the book version of the case for Christ and I was exposed to profound practical answers that made sense.
The author of the Case for Christ, Lee Strobel, was an atheist who did a deep dive into the truth of Christ’s existence as a means of proving that it was all a lie. He however ended proving that Christ did live on earth and resurrected after being crucified and buried. He ended up giving his life to Christ due to the irrefutable truths he discovered. I too got convinced once again that my belief and trust in God were worthwhile.
Gradually, I found my way back to God and we settled our fight 😅 and He led me to many more answers in the Bible. I even got to learn that I wasn’t the first person to ask Him if he was really with me; David and Job had asked Him that eons ago and even Jesus while He hung on the cross asked God why He had forsaken him. 😅 (See the book of Job, Psalm 22, Psalms 42:9, and Matthew 27:46)
So while you ask God questions, be open to the answers He will give and hey, fret not, God is always with you even when it doesn’t feel that way.
