"God will give you your answers". And of course all of this is true.
But what we sometimes fail to understand is that God does have all of the answers but that doesn't necessarily mean that He is going to give them to us.
How do we gain knowledge and wisdom and understanding? We gain these things through other people, through experiences, through healing, through books, through prayer, etc., etc., etc.
God does provide answers to us; but not by going to Him all the time directly; but through the gifts that we all possess as we help each other.
We're given free will for a reason and that reason is not to go to God for answers for everything.
If we did, how will we ever learn the lessons that we should all learn? And once we gain this knowledge, we then go teach it to others.
Jesus was a humble, simple, holy, but absolutely brilliant man...he didn't give answers to everyone; instead, he preached on topics that had underlying themes and told stories (parables) so people would understand more than just saying "yes", "no", "maybe" or "here's what you need to do."
Jesus wanted people to understand why rather than just taking an answer at face value, plus most of his parables had much deeper themes. That's where we gain spiritual knowledge and wisdom.
Yes God has all the answers...but He also has all the questions.
What parables will you share tomorrow in order to pass along your wisdom and knowledge?
Don't look to God for the answers, because you already have them.
