I once heard an interesting saying that seems generally quite accurate. It goes like this: “College freshmen answer all the questions, and college seniors question all the answers.” What is the reason for this transition? Perhaps it’s because when young people first start college, they don’t  realize how small their world has been or how little they actually know.

Those students have just gone from being the oldest and most experienced students in high school to being the “frosh” in college. Then, as they continue their education, the courses get deeper and more challenging, and they begin to wonder if they know much of anything; they feel like they actually have more questions than they do answers.

I guess that’s sort of how I sometimes feel when it comes to really understanding the awesomeness of God and the incredible depth of His Word. When I was young in the faith and less familiar with the Scripture, I seemed to think that I had all the answers; yet now, I sometimes feel like I have as many questions as I do answers. Oh well! I think a line in one of Chris Rice’s songs says it well, “I’m saving up questions for heaven.”
