Questions???

~Questions are a good way to get to the bottom of something.

~ Questions are good for evaluation and renewal.

 In the book of Judges, everyone is doing what’s right in their own eyes. Sounds familiar, doesn’t it? 

To make a long story short, Micah steals from his mother–then returns the money. She makes a god and Micah decides to become the “priest” until a young Levite shows up. Micah pays him good wages to become his personal priest. Along the way come some Danite men and they hear and recognize the voice of the Levite. 

They ask him three questions. Listen to them carefully.

Who brought you here?

What are doing in this place?

Why are you here?

Think about these questions in your life.

Who brought you here? Think of all the people who have influenced and continue to influence you. Parents, grandparents, pastors, mentors, teachers and great friends– On whose shoulders are you standing on right now? How did you get to where you are? 

What are you doing in this place? Since you have made it to this spot in your life, what are you doing? What does your life consist of? Can you say as Paul said, “for me to live is Christ.”? What are your doing? Are you being influential?  Are you standing up now?  

Why are you here? What is your purpose in life? Why do you do what you do? What is it that makes you live for God?  Do you serve Him? Do you take risks or are you playing it safe?

 Great questions aren’t they? How did you do?   

They asked the young priest if their journey had the Lord’s approval. How about your journey? Does it have the Lord’s approval?
