A TELLING QUESTION
Monday, May 22, 2017
Romans 14:19; 1Corinthians 10:23;
1Thessalonians 5:11-24
“That’s a telling
question.” “I’m going to ask you a telling question.” are phrases seldom if at all heard these days.
They indicated questions to which answers told much about the responding individual
or group. Though the phrases have fallen to disuse, the practice has not.
Such quizzing is
both loved and hated by this person. I am not alone in this conundrum.
We love “telling
questions” because by their answers we learn so much about ourselves.
We hate “telling
questions” because by their answers we learn so much about ourselves.
This morning I’ve
been pondering a telling question: Who in my life has trusted me with more
responsibility than any other?
I invite you to
join me in answering. I suggest you write your answer and consider throughout
this day “Exactly what does it tell me about myself?”
If you would like
to share your answer, the person, and what you think it reveals about you,
please do. (Anons accepted.) Doing so will be an edifying experience for all of
us. We are all interested in edifying one another, aren’t we?
