Even The Greatest Have Bad Days

In my devotions today, I was reading about the time when John-The Baptist sent his disciples to ask Jesus if he was the promised one, even going so far as to have them ask if they should expect another. Hello! Wasn't this the same man who know doubt heard the stories from his mother, to whom the Spirit revealed Jesus' identity, baptized Jesus, heard the voice from heaven and saw the Holy Spirit descend as a dove? Now he is questioning? Consider his circumstance. he was in jail and his days were numbered. Quite possibly, he was thinking, "This isn't how I imagined this Jesus the Messiah thing playing out."

Sounds crazy doesn't it? Yet, we often do the same. We have a great experience with God one day and then we find ourselves in the midst of a trial or hardship and we begin to question. You know something I've learned? God is big enough for questions. Just as John- The Baptist questioned Jesus through his disciples, we can ask questions.

Jesus said that there was no greater prophet than John- The Baptist, so, unless we are questioning to the point of despair and desertion, we can and God expects us to have some questions.

Having a bad day? A bad series of days? Ask God the reason why. He will either teach you something, use you in the circumstance, or the circumstance will make his deliverance even more spectacular.
