Questions Anyone?

The other day I was walking around in the grocery store with a few of my friends. I had no purpose to be in this store other than accompanying them on this quest. I was looking at pop-tarts when I heard the most famous question ever asked. "Why?" I am not a parent and do not plan on being one anytime soon. However, you don't have to be a parent to sympathize. This daughter continued to ask this question over and over. When it seemed like parent's interrogation was over, the child bombarded the parent again with multiple questions that in the child's world had much significance, but in the parent's world they seemed very minute. I got home later that day and continued my forty day Bible study. It was only the third day in this journey through the highlights of the Bible when the theme of questioning God started. In Genesis God promised Abram that his descendants would be as many as the stars in the sky and the grains of sand on the beach. In chapter 17 God tells Abraham that he is going to give him a son through Sarah. Abraham was a hundred years old and Sarah was ninety. Are you kidding me? Abraham of course was thinking the same thing. He actually laughed at the idea. But God was not laughing. Of course He came through on his promise made in Genesis 12:2. Sarah became pregnant and delivered a baby boy. God said, "I want you to name your son Isaac," which in Hebrew just happens to mean laughter. I would be willing to bet that every time Abraham thought of Isaac, looked at Isaac or even said Isaac's name he thought about the time he laughed at God. You see, too many times we are like Abraham. God has a plan for us, as he did Abraham and Isaac, but instead of trusting God we question him. I am beginning to think that my questioning God is starting to sound like, "Why? Why? But why? Why?"
