Late night thoughts

Sometimes, the problem isn’t the answer, it’s the question itself.

Imagine you walk into your office. You see your favorite book on the table, even though it’s usually on the shelf. And your friend is sitting on the couch, instead of the chair he normally chooses.

It makes perfect sense to ask, “Who moved the book?”

But would you ask, “Who moved my friend?”of course not. He’s a person. He can move on his own. The book can’t.

Now take a carpenter. He builds a chair.

You don’t expect the chair to become like the carpenter, even though he made it. That would be a wrong expectation.

Same goes for how we question God.

You can’t use human logic, human limitations, or human experience to frame questions about something beyond all of that. It’s like asking why a chair doesn’t think like a carpenter.

If the question is built on a false premise, no answer will ever make sense.

Sometimes, we need to fix the question before we demand an answer.
