DAILY PROVERB:

Proverbs 25:1-3
 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. The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings is unsearchable.

 

OUTLOOK ON THE IN BOOK:

    “Mommy, why does the dog bark?” “Daddy, why does the rain disappear the next day?” “Mommy, why is my hair brown?” “Daddy, why did the neighbor call you a weirdo?” Okay, so maybe you can answer the last one, but we don’t have all the answers.

 

    At times, children pose questions to us that we may not be adequately prepared to answer. It’s not always because we lack the knowledge, but rather because we’re concerned that the explanation might confuse them more than if they were left with the question. Have you ever had to say, “Ask me again in a few years, and I’ll explain, but for now, you have to trust that I’m right?”

 

    Sometimes, God treats us in a similar manner. It is within His right, and guided by His wisdom, that He withholds certain information from us. For instance, if people were to know the exact moment of their death, some might lead a life filled with sin, resembling the ways of the world, until that fateful day, expecting to reconcile with God just before their passing. This would result in individuals living a sinful life and then hoping for God’s forgiveness at the eleventh hour. Such a lifestyle not only deprives that person of God’s love and blessings but may also influence others who are observing, potentially causing them to disregard God’s saving grace.

 

    God desires us to love Him and live for Him throughout our entire lives. Living in a manner contrary to His teachings will cause us to miss out on the abundant blessings that God has prepared for us in this life. So, in His infinite wisdom, God sometimes says, “Wait, my child, I will reveal more to you in due time.”

 

THE WORD WALKING IN ME:

    It is an honor for any leader or parent to discover the truth of God and be able to impart it to others. It is at that moment that they experience the joy of serving God for themselves. How wonderful it is to hear someone say, “Thank you for sharing Jesus with me; you truly made a difference.” In reality, it was God who made the difference in their life; we simply shared Him.

 

Will you rejoice and be patient to hear
God’s answers in your life in God’s time?

 

IF YOU ARE JOURNALING:

Ask yourself, what are MY THOUGHTS concerning this Passage, and todays Devotion?

 

Do I find within this reading a CHALLENGE for my life?

 

What are one or two things I WILL DO today or this week to accept that CHALLENGE?
