Good day, Christian Poets and Writers, and all members!
Jesus, while hanging on the cross asked God, And at the ninth hour, Jesus cried out with a loud voice, "Eloi Eloi lama sabachthani?" which means, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
This appeared in Matthew 27:46 and Psalms 22:2.
With this being said, and all that each of us go through and experience on a daily, some say, don't question God... However, Jesus did. Should we?
So eloquently expressed, Afua. Thank you so very much for sharing your response.
Thanks for sharing Shira. I believe we can and should enquire of the Lord in any situation- in the same way a child would ask of a father if he/ she doesn’t understand or has concerns or anguish.
Many of our patriarch and matriarch of the faith also did, just like Jesus (e.g. Moses, Abraham, David, Jonah, Job etc.) and God responded. Enquiring of our father shows our weakness, his strength and our total dependence on him for his will in all our circumstances.
