Have you ever wondered why some people are able to get keen insights in areas where it seems everyone else has failed? You're not alone because I used to wonder these things myself. As I pondered this question over the years I concluded that people don't get the solution to their problem because they're asking the wrong questions or simply have an incorrect theory "view".

It's like people who keeping looking for the answer inside the box: the thought never occurs to them to look outside the box! It's like someone moving into a new place and they keep looking inside the same box for that item they can't seem to find lol! They never bothered to look elsewhere...and if they did then they failed to consider that what they're looking for may be in another box.

Why do people's minds and thinking go stale?

If I ask the wrong question then will I get the wrong answer?

If I ask the right question then will I get the right answer?

If I ask a different question then will I get a different answer? If I ask the same question then will I get the same answer?

What is the right question? What is the wrong question?

If I ask this person will I get a response?

If I'm in the right place am I also in the right time? If I'm in the wrong place am I also in the wrong time?

Am I in the right place at the wrong time? Am I in the right time at the wrong place?

How many years are there really before Jesus would be born? How many years until His death? How many years until His return?

How much time is there for the world to exist according to the Bible?

The answers to these questions my dear brothers and sisters all boils down to the questions you ask. In closing if you want to think creatively then you need to ask creative questions.

How does one come up with creative questions?

Study Genesis 1:1-2:3 and you will understand that because God is the Creator of the world and man: He made us in His Image and Likeness, therefore we can create literally "bring things into being" just like God. But if you ask an evolutionist this same question you will get a different answer.

Do you go to God with your difficult questions or do you consult His creations?

Your answer to these questions will determine whether or not you suffer the same fate as Eve when she spoke with the Serpent.

Have you considered Job’s despondent prayer ? We heard God acknowledge that Job is righteous.

This is what we have heard:
“And so it was, after the Lord had spoken these words to Job, that the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath is aroused against you and your two friends, for you have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has.”
‭‭Job‬ ‭42:7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

So I considered Job’s despondent prayer also answered.

Job said:
“Man that is born of a woman
Is of few days, and full of trouble.”
‭‭Job‬ ‭14:1‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Also, this we heard:

“But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, BORN OF A WOMAN, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭4:4-5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

So we perceive Job then didn’t perceive, man that is born of a woman, born under the law, would receive the adoption as sons, to redeem those who were under the law, when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son.

I'm not sure that I quite understand what you mean! What is it that you are looking for? Does not psalm 23 say, I nothing lack if I am His. You are His and you lack nothing and that means nothing at all. He is your all sufficiency in all things, He has made you to be a conquerer and overcomer. Trust in Him and know that it not thinking out of the box, all things are in Him and they are already yours!

Does failing to consult the Word of God with your questions of Life lead to the same end result as hiring a bad consultant?

No not at all. I've been through a lot of bad things in the last few years, so that I might learn to trust Him fully.

Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. (Psalm 37:5)

Why do people's minds and thinking go stale?[/QUOTE]

Why do people's minds and thinking go stale? For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. (2 corinthians 4:16)
Who says that our minds and thinking have to go stale?
