1996) I have had a young scholar who repeatedly came up to my desk to ask questions. While I applauded this young man for asking, I found it laborious. My thinking was, how can he build any self-confidence if he won’t try on his own and risk a mistake?   God has encouraged his children to ask questions. After all, how can we learn? Luke 2:46 records Jesus, as a child, sitting among the teachers in the temple, asking questions.  

Questioning God isn’t a bad thing. It’s when we aim our accusations disguised as questions that do not please him.
