Proverbs 25:2 "It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter."
I think it is very important that we never forget that God ----- is God!
His thoughts are higher than our thoughts and His ways are higher than our
ways. His glory is beyond anything we could ever begin to imagine. And it is
very important to remember the words recorded by Moses, "The secret things
belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto
us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this
law." (Deuteronomy 29:29) Yes, there are things which we will never know
nor understand in this life. But that does not give us the excuse to stop
searching. I cannot recall the number of times I have heard it said, "I
don't read my Bible because I just don't understand what it is saying."
May I say just now that we will never understand as long as we do not
open our Bibles and read. Yes, God has concealed great riches within His Holy
Word. That's His glory and His privilege to do so; yet, it is an honour to take
time to read, meditate, study, and search out the things which God has for us
in His Word. There is great joy when suddenly our understanding is opened to
something for which we have tried to understand. God honors that effort and
reveals to us those things which He would have us to know at just the moment we
need to understand it.
