23-089 Spiritual Hide-and-Seek: Discovering God's Hidden Treasures

Proverbs 25:2 says, "It is God's privilege to conceal things and the king's privilege to discover them."

Have you ever noticed that when it comes to our relationship with God, it often feels like we're playing a game of spiritual hide-and-seek? God seems to have a knack for being elusive when we're seeking Him, yet He pursues us relentlessly when we're not. Today, let's explore this fascinating dynamic with three points to consider, a call to action, and a conclusion. So buckle up, and let's dive in!

  1. Playing Hard to Get: God's Mysterious Ways

Proverbs 25:2 says, "It is God's privilege to conceal things and the king's privilege to discover them." It's as if God enjoys keeping us on our toes, hiding His voice, His specific will, and His reasons in places that require us to put in the effort to find them. It's like a cosmic game of "Where's Waldo?" with the ultimate prize being a deeper understanding of God's heart.

  1. Hungry for More: Pursuing God's Hidden Treasures

God doesn't just hand everything to us on a silver platter – He wants to see who's truly hungry for His presence. Who will persist in the search to hear Him? Who desires an authentic relationship with Him, rather than just a set of rules to follow? The answers to these questions lie in our willingness to seek God wholeheartedly, even when He seems to be playing hard to get.

  1. The Journey Matters: Growing Closer to God Through the Search

In our pursuit of God, the journey itself is significant. Those who are content with a surface-level, the religious practice may give up early in the quest. But those who can only be satisfied by a genuine encounter with God will persevere, deepening their relationship with Him as they uncover His hidden treasures.

Call to Action:

Commit to seeking God and discovering His concealed treasures, even when it feels like you're playing spiritual hide-and-seek. Embrace the journey, knowing that the process of searching will draw you closer to God's heart. Be persistent in your pursuit, and don't be discouraged when the answers don't come easily.

Conclusion:

The game of spiritual hide-and-seek that God seems to play with us can be frustrating at times, but it's also an incredible opportunity to grow in our relationship with Him. As we embrace the challenge of discovering God's hidden treasures, we'll find ourselves drawn closer to His heart and experiencing a deeper connection with our Creator. So, my friends, let's lace up our spiritual sneakers and get ready to play the most rewarding game of hide-and-seek we'll ever experience!

Let’s Pray…Lord, I’ll never give up my desire for more of You  —more closeness, better hearing, a deeper connection. Draw me closer and show me the secrets of Your heart.
