Questions from Below
Nouwen (of course) describes how often we ask God questions from below, which He responds with an answer from above.
In Acts 1:4, 6-8, Paul records, "And while staying with them he [Jesus] ordered them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father...So when they had come together, they asked him, 'Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?' He said to them, 'It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.'"
Lord, help me to hear and understand your answers from above when I ask questions from below.
