Why Lord Why?

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Isaiah 55:8-9

If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to  all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.
James 1:5

Curious minds want to know!   Why am I here, why are you here, why is anything here?   Why did God even put the Earth into motion and plant us on it?

We are born wanting to know why.   What was the first word your child learned to use?   Why.   What was the last word your child used this morning?  Why. 

We spend our entire lives wanting to know why.   That is one reason God promised to give us wisdom if we would only ask.
