It is the glory of God to conceal a matter. But the glory of kings is to search out a matter. Proverbs 25:2
Words, words, words. I’ve written a book’s worth of words this week in my blog . . . erased them . . . and written them again. All in an attempt to capture in words that nugget of truth hidden in a certain story in the Bible. Such a great story it is. It needs to be shared.
But as I neared the end of my writing for the third time (writing is my journaling these days), I had to ask myself, “And the point of the story is?” Ugh. It’s there. I know it, can see its shadow just beyond my reach.
As with all stories the Lord tells, there is a point to be made—multiple points, actually. Layer upon layer of truth, rich deposits waiting to be tapped into. Some just take more intentional searching to find them out.
[Things are hidden temporarily only as a means to revelation.] For there is nothing hidden except to be revealed, nor is anything [temporarily] kept secret except in order that it may be made known. If any man has ears to hear, let him be listening and let him perceive and comprehend. (Mark 4:22 – 23
So, I will keep listening and searching until I can comprehend.
I so love how God works, He knows when we're ready for an update and then give it to us. He never pushes, He just waits with all His Love and Patience for us.
And what a joy it is when we seek to know, and just before we think we give up, He sends another of His downloads to us, and laughs from our delight of discovery.
