Rhetorical Question

Proverbs 30:4 Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell? 30:5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.

 

The 7 rhetorical questions in this proverb prove no man can find out God or wisdom by human effort. The answer to each question is an obvious negative. No man has gone to heaven or come back or conquered the elements to learn the ways of God. 

Agur proceeded to teach that every inspired word of God is pure and necessary (Pr30:5). Not a single word was to be deleted or degraded. Putting trust in God and His words was the surest defence against dangers in this world or the next.

Consider 3 very similar questions. "O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and his ways past finding out! For who hath known the mind of the Lord? Or who hath been his counsellor? Or who hath first given to him and it shall be recompensed unto him again? For of him and through him, and to him, are all things: to who be glory for ever. Amen" (Rom11:33-36).

I pray for you: Because our God is unsearchable and His ways past finding out, no one will be able to know how He's blessing you. He'll continue to confound them day after day as you swim in glory in Jesus name. Amen. 

Good Morning and a Beautiful Weekend
