Proverbs 25:2: “It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, But the glory of kings is to search out a matter.”
1: God’s Glory is Revealed in Mystery
Deuteronomy 29:29 (NASB). “The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our sons forever, so that we may follow all the words of this Law.”
God’s glory is so vast that not everything is immediately revealed to humanity. His concealment invites awe and reverence. He is not obligated to explain Himself, but His character invites us into a journey of discovery.
We should embrace humility before God’s mysteries, trusting Him even when we don’t understand.
In Christ, many mysteries hidden for ages are revealed. Jesus is the unveiling of God’s heart toward humanity.
2: Believers Are Called to Seek and Search
Jeremiah 29:13 (NASB). “And you will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.”
God honors earnest seeking. It is our glory—our high calling—to pursue wisdom, to ask questions, to deepen our knowledge of Him through His Word and Spirit.
Cultivate a lifestyle of daily seeking after God through prayer, study, and meditation on His Word.
Jesus Christ is the treasure hidden in the field (Matthew 13:44). Seeking Him reveals the riches of God’s wisdom and grace.
3: Revelation is a Gift, Not an Achievement
1 Corinthians 2:10 (NASB)
“For to us God revealed them through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God.”
Human wisdom cannot uncover divine truths on its own. Spiritual revelation comes from the Holy Spirit. It is not about intellectual ability but about humble dependence on God’s Spirit.
Submit our minds and hearts to the Spirit’s leading, recognizing that understanding comes by grace.
Christ sent the Holy Spirit to guide us into all truth (John 16:13), demonstrating His continuing role as Teacher and Revealer.
4: Christ is the Fulfillment of All Hidden Wisdom
Colossians 2:2-3 (NASB). “That their hearts may be encouraged, having been knit together in love, and that they would attain to all the wealth that comes from the full assurance of understanding, resulting in a true knowledge of God’s mystery, that is, Christ Himself, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.”
All the hidden treasures of wisdom and knowledge are found in Christ. Searching for God ultimately leads to finding Christ, who fully reveals the Father.
Center our pursuit of wisdom and life purpose entirely around Jesus Christ, knowing that He is our wisdom and guide.
Jesus is not only the Revealer; He Himself is the Revelation. Knowing Him is knowing God.
Summary
- Humbly trust God’s mysterious workings even when not understood.
- Daily seek God with an open heart and mind.
- Rely on the Holy Spirit for wisdom rather than solely on human intellect.
- Recognize that true wisdom, life, and joy are found fully in Jesus Christ.
The Hidden Way”
I walk the path not seen.
The wind speaks songs.
The light ahead is Jesus Christ.
The way unfolds with each step.
The hidden hand shapes my life.
The whispered call to search and seek.
The mysteries are deep.
The answer is Jesus.
The Word was once concealed
Now we see His glory, His scars.
The hidden treasures are near.
The cross has revealed God’s secret.
I bow before the Lord God Almighty.
I trust the One who holds it all.
I seek and find the hidden way.
The way of Christ, my all in all.
