Proverbs - Dimensions

Proverbs 25:3

The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings is unsearchable.


There are dimensions all around us. There is the height of heaven and the depth of earth.  There is the depth of the sea and the height of the mountains.  The heart of kings is similar.  Just as we are unable to fully experience the highest height and the lowest depth, authority has reasons for doing things we will not be able to experience from our vantage point.  This is why it is important to submit to authority as long as there is no conflict with the law of God.  Even kings don’t know why they do some of the things they do because the Lord turns the heart of the king in whatever direction He wants it to go.  Our husbands may make decisions for which we would demand justification.  This could be to our detriment.  The depth of their reasoning may even be too deep for them to put into words.  I have found that when I go along with the leading of authority, I am usually pleasantly surprised at the experience I receive.  We don’t have to understand, we have to stand under the authority in our lives and trust their hearts are too deep for us to fully search.
