You need God’s wisdom for the decisions you face.Perhaps God has placed you in a position of great responsibility,and you feel overwhelmed by the decisions you must make.It may be in your role as parent,or friend,or leader that you long for the wisdom of God.Pray that God will fill you with His Spirit of wisdom so that through the decisions you make you can live your life effectively.I felt very encouraged by Krister's fb status. Although i guess im not really that overwhelmed by my responsibilities now, but i do hope to live my life effectively and happily(: and i hope others will too!

"Give Thy servant an understanding heart to judge Thy people and to know good and evil. So God said to him, 'Since you have asked for this and not for long life or wealth for yourself, nor have asked for the death of your enemies but for discernment in administering justice, I will do what you have asked...'" (1 Kings 3:9-12)
Learn from King Solomon(:

I also saw the following short story in my fellowship's group.
Question: Why doesn’t God answer all of Job’s (and our) questions?

This question assumes that if God answered all our questions, it would be easier to believe. This is not true. Trust goes beyond answers. Sometimes, questions become a way to avoid trust.

Take, for example, a little girl invited to jump off the stairs into her father’s waiting hands. She asks, “Will you catch me, Daddy?” He answers, “Yes, I will!” She may jump or she may proceed to ask endless versions of her first question. If she does jump, it will be more because of whom she knows her father to be than because of his answer to one of her questions. The fact that she jumps does not mean that she has run out of fears or questions; it means that her trust is greater than her fears or questions.

In the end, we must trust God more than our capacity to understand God’s ways. The lesson from Job’s experience does not forbid us from asking questions. Often these questions will lead us to the reasons for our suffering. But Job’s experience also warns us that we may not be able to understand all our suffering all the time, or even any of it some of the time.

God doesn’t answer all of our questions because we are simply unable to understand many of His answers.sometimes it just takes a little trust and faith to take the step fwd(:
