Why? Why? Why?

"why doesn't this person speak to me anymore?'
"why did my friend say this negative thing about me?"
and my grand daughter recently asked, "why would a friend violate my trust?"

and of course, the biggies, "why do good things happen to bad people and bad things happen to good people?"

Herrmann's brain dominance research noted that "why?" is a fundamental question governed by the upper right quadrant of the brain. We equate the ability to answer the "why?" questions to higher order knowledge called wisdom.

Yet, King Solomon admonishes us about the futility of such questions because meaning in life is determined only by God, and wisdom comes from recognizing this. - Ecclesiastes 7

This point is supported by the popular scripture "trust in God with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding."

Making sense out of events in our life by pursuing the "why?" question seems then to be carnally minded.
Our human mind is governed by "cause and effect" logic.
Might we become more Kingdom minded if we ask God His perspective instead of pursuing and demanding answers to the question "why?"

This blogs for me!!    The rest of you can ponder it too if you'd like :-)
