A good investigative reporter asks six questions: Who? What? When? Where? Why? and How?

These questions usually supply all the answers necessary to tell a complete story.

In living our own story, we tend to ask certain questions more than others. Some dwell on Why? Some ask Where? or How? But the question that dominates most of our thinking is What?

What’s happening? What do I need? What can I do?

What? is the question that points to the events, actions, or things that appear to drive and sustain us.

It’s ok to ask What? God knows that our life circumstances and basic needs are important. However, the ultimate question God says we should be asking is not What? but Who?

We will worry less about what’s happening in the world if we know the God who sustains the world. We’ll be wiser asking for what we truly need if we submit to the God who knows what’s best for us. We’ll have more faith asking for what we need if we know the God who loves us and who faithfully keeps His promises.

Ask and it will be given you. But make sure you ask the right questions.
