Good morning, Friends, 

Proverbs 25:2  - It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, but the glory of kings to search out a matter

Sometimes we want to know why God does what He does , like why He allows pain, why doors close, why prayers seem to bounce off the ceiling. But Proverbs 25:2 reminds us that some things are hidden on purpose. God’s glory isn’t just in what He reveals, it’s also in what He conceals.

This shows us the difference between the Creator and the created. God is sovereign,  meaning He rules over everything, and He doesn’t owe us an explanation.  That's hard pill to swallow but it's the truth nevertheless. Deuteronomy 29:29 says, “The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us.” In other words, God knows what we don’t, and He reveals what we need to know, not all we want to know.

That’s a humbling and sobering thought, ain’t it? In a world that worships information, God reminds us that faith isn’t built on having all the answers, it’s built on trusting the One who does.

Let's check out the 2nd part of the verse: “the glory of kings is to search out a matter.”

In other words, while God hides certain things for His glory, He also invites us to dig deeper into His truth. A wise person doesn’t don’t stop at the surface, they pursue understanding through prayer, Scripture, and dependence on the Holy y Spirit. That’s where growth happens.

Think of it like searching for gold in a mine. The gold doesn’t just sit on top of the ground, you have to dig for it. God’s Word is the same way. You won’t always get answers at a glance, but when you study, pray, and stay faithful, He’ll reveal what you need in His perfect time.

Ask yourself, "am I chasing understanding for comfort, or seeking God for closeness?

Friends, when life feels unclear, resist the urge to demand answers. Instead, worship the God who’s in control and trust His wisdom when yours runs out.

Remember, the mysteries of God aren’t walls to keep you out, they’re doors inviting you closer. Seek Him in the hidden places, and you’ll find peace that passes understanding.

You know what time ⏰ it is!!! 🔍 🔦

8/21/25 Good morning, Friends,  1 Thessalonians 4:11 -11 and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet 🤫 life and attend to your own business and work with your hands, just as we commanded you, Everybody these days wants to shine. Social media has people chasing likes, clout, and attention, trying to be seen instead of just being faithful. But the Word of God cuts through all that noise: “Lead a quiet life. Mind your business. Work with your hands.” That’s not flashy. That won’t go viral. But that’s the grind God respects. See, real strength isn’t in being loud, it’s in being steady. Paul’s saying, stop being thirsty for the spotlight, stop running your mouth in other people’s affairs, and stop leaning on folks when you could be putting in your own work. Truth is, mooching off others while you got the ability to grind is lazy, and laziness is sin. God gave you gifts, skills, and breath in your lungs so use them. Don’t be that person always asking but never giving, always watching b...

9/10/25 Good morning, Friends, Psalm 69:1 LSB [1] Save me, O God, For the waters have threatened my life. Have you ever felt like life was drowning you? Like problems kept piling up 📈, bills, stress, health, relationships, and no matter how hard you tried, you just couldn’t keep your head above water? That’s exactly how David felt when he wrote ✍🏾 this verse. He wasn’t talking about actual water 🌊, he was describing the feeling of being overwhelmed and sinking fast. Instead of trying to fight 🥊 through it on his own, David cried out to God: “Save me, O God.” That’s the turning point. When we reach the end of ourselves, God is still strong enough to lift us up. Let's keep it 💯 with God. You don’t have to fake it with Him. If you’re struggling, tell Him straight up. He can handle your honest prayers. Depend on Him!! You don’t have to do life alone or in your own strength. God is able to rescue, comfort, and steady you when you feel like you’re going under. If you fee...

  8/18/25 Good morning, Friends,  Matthew 3:1-2 -[1]Now in those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, saying, [2]“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” John the Baptist didn’t show up in a three-piece suit with politically correct words. He came rough, raw, and real, and his message was simple: Repent. Not, “say you’re sorry.” Not, “promise to do better.” Repent. Here’s the difference: asking forgiveness is like telling God, “My bad, I messed up.” Repentance goes deeper—it’s a turning of the heart, mind, and direction. It’s when the Spirit of God flips the script in your soul, and you walk a whole new way. Forgiveness is like the judge stamping your record “cleared.” Repentance is like walking out of court and actually living different! It's proof that God’s the one changing you on the inside. Think of it like this: If I keep apologizing for stealing, but I’m still sliding wallets out of pockets tomorrow, nothing’s really changed. Repentan...
