The bible lays out something very interesting in this verse.
Mathew 7
7Ask and it shall be given to you, seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened to you. 8“For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it shall be opened. 9“Or is there a man among you who, if his son asks for bread, shall give him a stone? 10“Or if he asks for a fish, shall he give him a snake? 11“If you then, being wicked, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Father who is in the heavens give what is good to those who ask Him!
I will focus on the seek portion of this scripture. How often do you get frustrated with circumstances when you cannot find something that you know YHVH is leading you to. You may not even be sure what it is but you know He is leading you to something. I know in my case I find that at times I will get overly frustrated with trying to find the answers to what is going on in my life. One of my bigger questions is "What is holding me back from my beloved? What hinderance is messing things up? Whats wrong with me?"
And this can lead to deep frustration which can result in stupid outbursts.
Have you ever found yourself in a position where you are trying to figure out what YHVH is trying to get across and yet you feel as dumb as a brick because it just won't sink in?
YHVH once offered a man anything he ever wanted. After thinking it over a bit Solomon asked for wisdom. And he was granted to be the wisest and the richest man that ever lived. he wrote a few parts of the bible that are very intriguing to me. One of which was
Proverbs 25:2
2It is the esteem of Elohim to hide a matter, And the esteem of sovereigns to search out a matter
In the King James Version it says The Lord takes joy in hiding things.
I found this so enlightening. This means that those things that I am struggling to find are hidden on purpose. Sometimes as I seek things with a diligent meek heart I find myself drawing nearer to my creator. In this verse I find that I have been getting frustrated for no solid reason other than my own ignorant impatience. If it is hidden there is something to be gained in seeking it instead of it just coming clear with ease. Take joy in the hunt for those things in which your creator is trying to lead you to. I know that I sure intend to make this a new part of my life.
