More Questions Than Answers

Do you ever feel like there are more questions than answers in your life? Spiritual journey?

I definitely do. I guess it's essential to our learning and development. If we never had questions then would we ever learn anything.

A recent example for me is in a passage I recently read from Acts. Acts 12:6-11. Peter has just been captured by Herod Agrippa, who was a tyrant leader that was out to persecute as many believers as he could. Herod had placed Peter in jail under watch by more guards than usual. Herod jailed Peter instead of killing him immediately due to a religious festival called Passover. Once Passover was over, the plan was to kill Peter.

So, Peter was hanging out in jail and went to sleep while being locked up. Out of nowhere an angel appeared and freed Peter from the jail without a commotion or anyone knowing it. Now Peter thought it was a vision but then realized it was the real deal.

Here is where the questions come in.

An angel just appears and frees him? How do the guards not see what's happening? Peter doesn't question this?

For me, this is crazy. For me to have faith, I must question this and believe that God can deliver any of us from anything. Even from jail if he chose to.

The journey is long and I have to keep reading and praying for answers to the questions even though I know there will be more questions.

Peace be with you today. God is Love
