(1 Samuel 17:26: “Then David spoke to the men who stood by him, saying, What shall be done for the man that kills this Philistine, anTHE BLESSING OF ASKING QUESTIONS 3d takes away the reproach from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the Living God?”)
I hope you are enjoying our study on “Asking the Right Kind of Questions” as David did in (1 Samuel 17:26). Never shy away from asking questions because it has the potential of changing you and things for the better. So, my advice to you is to never lose holy curiosity henceforth.
However, my focus in today’s study is to share the remaining kind of questions you need to ask yourself if you will ever experience total transformation in every area of life:
– Ask questions that no one seems to be asking. This is the kind of question that David asked in (1Sam.17:26). Don’t be afraid of asking the odd questions in life e.g. Instead of asking who caused the darkness, ask rather what caused the darkness. As you begin to ask this type of questions, you will stand out among your peers and generation.
– Ask questions and don’t take “no” for an answer. By this, I mean, be relentless in asking the right kind of questions. Don’t ever give up if the answers don’t come forth quickly, keep probing until you find the answers you seek. Never say never! You will definitely strike gold if you faint not (Galatians 6:9).
– Ask questions that will challenge your fears and insecurities. Ask questions that will help you to confront your fears, worries and insecurities. Be ready to face your Goliath and you never know what you can do unless you try. So start facing your fears from today. You can’t conquer what you refuse to confront. As you start confronting your fears, you will discover a new sense of liberty and victory that you never experienced before. May this be your testimony henceforth. May you also become fearless as you face your fears (1 Samuel 14:6).
My dear reader, I welcome you to a new life of asking questions. I see you attaining greater heights in life as you do this!
