The Glory of Kings

Life full of questions? Wondering what in the world is going on? Are you clueless, like me? Do you wish you could better understand God and His work?

Sometimes I get so frustrated because I can't see everything that is going on. I just wish God would reveal everything to me now.

Then again, maybe I don't know what I'm asking for. Proverbs 25:2 says, "It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, but the glory of kings is to search out a matter."

Two things.
First, it is a part of the very nature of God that He cannot be completely known. If we could fully understand Him, why kind of a puny deity would He be? If He had no divine secrets there would be no weight to His glory.
Second, we need to be constantly digging deeper into the nature/work of God. It is not the glory of a king to know; it is the glory of a king to search out. What we know does not bear the same glory as what we do not know, and learning is greater than knowledge.

So, what does this mean? First, don't get frustrated when God is mysterious. That is just a part of His greatness; stand in awe of it. Second, don't get frustrated when You don't know what is going on. Search. Dig. Find out. Look and see. Uncover a piece of the mystery of life and God. It is in the searching that we find glory.
