If you could ask God one question what would it be?
I read an article today that told the story of a 6 year who wrote a letter to God asking Him how he was invented.  The letter found its way (via school teachers and parents) to the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams who answered the question extremely well.  He explained that no one actually invented God but rather people have and still do discover Him through such things as nature, prayer, inner peace and through the person of Jesus Christ.

This got me thinking – what would I ask God? 

In Acts 15 we read about the Apostles and Elders coming together at Jerusalem to discuss the importance, if any, of circumcision.  What we can draw from this account is that it is good and right to ask questions and have in-depth discussions about subjects we might not fully understand.  Jesus Himself never ran away from a good discussion or argument and probably asked more questions than anyone else in the Bible.

There will always be things in this life that we don’t understand – if you have a faith or not, and the Bible, like the aforementioned article, encourages us to ask those tough questions.  I think it’s very easy for us to ignore our questions and doubts even though this can be unhelpful.

So…What would you ask God?  You never know He might just give you an answer.
