The Daily Word of Righteousness
The Warrior's Prayer, #12
He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies (verse eleven).
God loves to hide Himself, to conceal His purposes and doings. Our task is to seek the Lord. We cannot find Him until we look for Him with all our heart.
It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter. (Proverbs 25:2)
Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour. (Isaiah 45:15)
And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. (Jeremiah 29:13)
Ordinarily God does not show Himself or His purposes openly. He hides His glory. Only those who give up everything else in order to concentrate on finding the Lord are able to discover the treasures the Lord has in store for those who love Him.
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: (Matthew 7:7)
We are to seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness.
Many believers of today are lovers of themselves. They are boastful, arrogant, proud, haughty. They demand that God respect all their rights, insure their comfort and pleasure in every circumstance—now! Are these people seeking the Kingdom of God and His righteousness or are they seeking their own happiness and importance?
God knows the heart of man, that it is proud. Therefore God has hidden His glory so only the meek and sincere can enter the Kingdom.
Sometimes it is said Jesus taught in parables so people would be able to understand and remember what He was declaring concerning the Kingdom of Heaven. This is not why Jesus taught in parables. Jesus taught in parables in order that the Kingdom of Heaven may be hidden from all except those whom God finds worthy to inherit it.
