In That’s A Good Question, BarbaraJo Tripp Bowers ponders twenty-four surprising questions that God asked in the Scriptures. Starting with God’s question to Hagar in Genesis 16:8 (“Where have you come from and where are you going?”) and continuing with questions to Adam, Cain, Job, Jacob, Moses, and many more, she considers why God would have asked these questions to which He certainly already knew the answer. Her insights provide rich food for thought and will spur you to deeper faith in the God who asked these surprising questions. That’s A Good Question is available now for purchase and is an excellent resource for personal or group study.

Maybe that’s because to the casual observer, they appear entirely unreasonable and unnecessary—why “freak out” when there seems to be no real or present danger? Yet, to those suffering from terrifying bouts of paralyzing fear, the experience feels more like a curse than a choice, more like a heavily-fortified prison to escape than a simple equation to solve.
God has uniquely created each of us, with a specific set of gifts, talents, skills, and passions. The race set before us is unique to us and no one else. I love the fact that God uses the word race to describe our life’s journey. A race has a beginning and an end, and it requires God’s gracious gifts and our effort to complete it.
Anyone running a race knows that it is as important to start quickly as it is to run fast and hard all the way through the finish line tape.
