Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. And often we have questions about what the Bible has to say, but we don't have the patience to hear the complex answers out. Like, well, why God doesn’t always heal; even when we pray long and hard. I know I struggle with that question when I was in the hospital; and my attitude back then was, "Don't give me any detailed theological stuff. Just answer my questions." Then, because I refused to take the time or mental energy to dig deep into God’s word to learn and consider the answer, I went away assuming no answer existed. Well, the book of Proverbs repeats time and again how we must search, dig, and mine out insights from Scripture as though we were prospecting for treasure. And we are!
