God created questions to help us discover, illuminate and to grow stronger in our faith. “Where are you?” from Genesis 3:9 is the first question asked in scripture. In that question God provides Adam the means to discover the depts of his sin. When the Lord asks Moses “What’s In Your Hand?” in Exodus 4:2, the power that the Lord has given him is illuminated. “Who do they say I am?” when asked by Jesus in Matthew 16:15 is a gateway for us to grow stronger in our faith as Peter provides us with the answer “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”
When the voice of the Lord asked in Isaiah 6:8 “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” Dorothy Ann Daniel answered the call. In answering the call Sister Daniel brought questions with her. I can never recall a meeting, a Sunday School class, or a Bible Study where she did not ask a question. Her questions were not trivial they were Godly for they help all of us there to discover, illuminate and grow stronger in our faith.
Last Saturday, Sister Daniel was rewarded for a lifetime of asking Godly questions as she when home to be with the Lord. As she is memorialized and laid to rest today, I am thankful to God for the discovery, the illumination, and the faith of Dorothy Ann Daniel, a Godly questioner.
