Curiosity – Daily Journal
Acts 1:7 ESV
He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority.
Proverbs 25:2-3 ESV

Genesis 3:1-24 ESV

Curiosity has been here since the beginning. In some sense, it is what drives me in the things I do. Curiosity is the desire to learn and understand. I think this is why the Bible is so interesting. In a way, it tries to explain the unknown or provide answers to questions we all seem to have. This sounds good. At the same time, it presents the idea of the all-knowing and this sounds pretty good too.

(Couple more thoughts – Sometimes it seems better not to know (bias vs unbias). Many times our curiosity can lead us to make poor choices)
