Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.  Psalms 119:160

Q Did God create evil?
A Isaiah 45:7  "I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things."

Q Ebenezer was a city. (See 1Samuel 4:1 and 1Samuel 5:1) What else was the word Ebenezer used for in the Bible?
A 1Samuel 7:12 "Then Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpeh and Shen, and called the name of it Ebenezer, saying, Hitherto hath the LORD helped us."

Q What is the answer to the questions that many philosophers and scientists wonder about....Why are we here on earth? What is our purpose?
A Revelation 4:11 "Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created."

Q Are there any references in the Bible to God laughing?
A Psalms 2:1-5 "Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure."
Psalms 37:1 "The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming. The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation."
Psalms 59:8 "But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision."
 
Q Should I stop to smell the flowers along the way?
A  Matthew 6:27-34 "Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof."
 
 

These are just a few questions that I have encountered from myself and from others. If any more come to mind that I feel I should add later, then I will do so. I find that the Bible often times has simple answers to questions that worldly counselors never seem to be able to answer, or else they answer them wrongly and the end result is only confusion. I hope that the correct answers from the Bible will be beneficial and clear to you also.
Thank you, June Thompson
