Proverbs 25:1-2
These are also proverbs of Solomon,
which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied out.
It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.
God has a right to withhold instruction until we are ready to receive it. It is to His glory. We may not be mature enough to process it or willing enough to obey it. We see many instances in scripture where our finding is connected with our seeking. It is in the search that our hearts are made ready to receive. It is in the search that our focus becomes defined. The Lord has called us kings and priests and it our honor to search out a matter. This keeps us remembering that He is the King of kings and truly the wisdom we need descends from above and is not always within our beings. The search creates the hunger where the answers satisfy. The search creates a passion that will remain long after the answer comes. You will find Him if you search for Him with all your heart. He wants to be found and He wants to use the time of seeking in your life in a rich, lasting way.
