The word for this week is "conceal". The verse we'll be looking at is Proverbs 25:2:
2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter. KJV
This is the Hebrew word "cathar". Strong's Concordance says: a primitive root; to hide (by covering). Brown-Driver-Briggs Hebrew Lexicon adds: to hide carefully. Vine's Expository Dictionary adds: to shelter. God has hidden vital Truths and promises in His Word that the unbeliever cannot understand. 1 Corinthians 2:14:
14 But the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. KJV
He has also hidden, or sheltered, the Truth of the Word from the enemy! 1 Corinthians 2:7-8 says this:
7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: 8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. KJV
It is for believers to know the hidden things of the Word of God! We all have the potential to know! 1 Corinthians 2:12:
12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. KJV
31 So Jesus said to those Jews who had believed in Him, If you abide in My word [hold fast to My teachings and live in accordance with them], you are truly My disciples. 32 And you will know the Truth, and the Truth will set you free. AMP
Hosea 6:3a says this:
3 Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord: KJV
8 This Book of the Law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe and do according to all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall deal wisely and have good success. AMP
So, just as every person who ever worked for Target had the potential to have your position, only the one who took it seriously enough to learn and grow and be diligent to succeed at every level is now in that position! THIS is the type of person that the Lord has concealed His Word FOR! You have also proven to be that person! There is no limit to how much we can learn to know and understand about Him and His Word as long as we continue to press on and go after it! You have become an even better son, brother, husband and father because of that commitment! Here is Hillsong with an older song called "I Live To Know You":
Love and Shalom from the Swoveys!
