What I saw in today's readings is that if you ask God a question, you're going to get an answer. It just depends on your attitude and heart intention as to what kind of answer you get.
The children of Israel got answers of food and water, since they had a real need, but they also got a rebuke for their complaining and testing God. Much better to just ask politely because you know He's going to provide.
The Pharisees got a wise answer from Jesus, but He also called them on their malicious testing of Him and said they were hypocrites.
David, on the other hand, inquired of the Lord and expressed his needs with the attitude of expectation of good from the Lord. This he got, more than he could have thought or imagined.
I know whose example I want to follow!
