I am completely blown away by the things the Lord is showing me in this season. While reading Proverbs 25 the Lord began to confirm some things that He was showing me about how He thinks and how He loves. This is the passage He unveiled to me.
Proverbs 25:2-3 It is the glory of God to conceal things, but the glory of kings is to search things out.
3 As the heavens for height, and the earth for depth, so the heart of kings is unsearchable.
While meditating on this, I thought to myself, “We are kings and priests unto our God.” (Rev. 1:6) I began to meditate on the fact that God has made our hearts unsearchable by men. Then I said out loud, “Our hearts are unsearchable by everyone but you Lord.”
He then spoke to me, “No Jack, I have purposely made your heart unsearchable by everyone, even Me.” I could hear joy in His voice when He said this. So much so, joy got on me! I said, “Lord show me what you mean by this. I do not understand. I remember scripture that says you search the hearts and minds of men.” (Jer.17:10)
God made us sovereign beings with free will. When we choose God and accept the sacrifice of His Son, He lays aside His foreknowledge in favor of experiencing the mystery of who we are in a loving relationship. The moment we make Christ our Lord, we become this mysterious new creature. His offspring, born of His Spirit. His Child, born of incorruptible seed!
He has given us His written Word, His spoken Word, and His living Word, Jesus, to help us pursue the mystery of who He is. H would never ask us to do anything that He has not done or is willing to do. Our heart is revealed to Him as we pursue Him. The only way He can know our heart is if we reveal it to him by our expression of faith. This is why faith pleases Him. God loves a mystery and it is His glory to conceal man’s heart and His glory to search it out.”
God does not always use His foreknowledge, at least not all the time. He will choose relationship over His foreknowledge every time. He loves the spontaneity, the anticipation, the surprises of growing in intimacy with His children. I see His heart toward us so much clearly now. My understanding of His love has multiplied because of this simple truth.
Our heart is a mystery even to God Himself. He made it this way for His good pleasure. This may be the most profound thing I have discovered about His nature and His love. While thinking about the implications of this, I realized that we have the ability to surprise God! That is nuts! While thinking about this He spoke to me again, and this blew me away even more!
“I gave you creativity so I could be surprised at how you love Me and serve Me with it.”
His people are so glorious and so precious in His sight that we have not even begun to understand. I am so humbled and so excited about this I can hardly contain myself!
It is our journey but it is His work, and it is a marvelous mystery!
