Meditation Verse on Proverbs 25:2

My Pastor started this thing called the meditation verse last year in our church to help us grow in the word and I’m amazed at how much it has lead me to grow and understand the word of God! Every week, a verse or few verses will be given to us to ponder and meditate upon for the whole week and on Sunday, we will share what God have spoken to us concerning the verse/verses. This week’s meditation verse is Proverbs 25:2, “It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings” (NIV). I felt lead to share and so I shared! I’m still amazed at the revelation God gave me concerning this 1 verse!

Well actually God brought to my mind an analogy but well did not manage to share it with the church but I believe what I said was what the Lord had intended for me to share! As for the rest of you here, you get to hear the whole thing! To those that seek, God will give you all the more!

When I read this verse on Sunday night last Sunday, the 1^st thing that came to my mind was that this is exactly what we’re doing meditation verses for! The word of God is hidden with many wisdom and knowledge which can only be found by those that seek for them. And that is where God’s glory and our glory can be found! Matthew 13:10-11 says: ‘the disciples came to Him and asked, “Why do you speak to the people in parables?” He replied them, “the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God have been given to you, but not to them.’(NIV) Jesus wasn’t showing favouritism to His disciples but because they inquired and desire to know and seek for the answer, it was revealed to them! And this is their glory as kings of the Kingdom for they were men of God, after God’s heart! Anyway all this didn’t come to me the 1^st time I read, I still had to meditate upon it throughout the week.

But the Lord revealed yet some more! (Some parts here were not shared in church.) I’m sure everyone is aware that everyone has their own struggles and has their own problems. And so very often we ask the most asked question: why? Why did this happen? Why didn't He stop it? Why am i not happier? Why did He allow it? Well its natural that we ask why, and often never get answered but you see that’s where the Glory of God is. Funny I should say that right?

Well when I was born, I was an extremely over weight baby weighing 5+ kg. (So far I only found 1 that’s heavier then I am in my whole life) But even though I was overweight, I was low on blood sugar and had to be on a glucose drip. And as I was sickly having asthma and all that sort of thing, I had lots of drips and needles poking into my body. Even in places you would never have thought possible. I also had a certain vitamin deficiency such that my dad had to back me in the sun everyday to get that vitamin (I believe its vitamin D). Seriously who would have thought I was ever that sickly? Going to the hospital was a common family trip. But the thing is as I was a baby, I didn’t ask why, much less understand the why. All I had was my parents who would comfort me and sooth me in my pain and suffering. All I had to do was to rely on them for even as a baby I had no power to take my own life. And that was what I found to be so true today. We may be in pain, great pain and do not understand why and yet when we wished we could just end our life, we don’t have the power to. All we can do is to trust and rely on out Heavenly Father trusting in His sovereignty! He is our shepherd and He is good and faithful! That is where His Glory lies! In us trusting and seeking Him in the midst of all those troubles! He may conceal the why but as long as we have Him, is it not enough?

Do you understand His Glory and the Glory that you and I are entitled to receive? Seek to shine His Glory and attain Glory for yourself then.

Oh and not to forget to thank God for my dad for giving me a massage to relieve my muscle aches. Just to give him (my dad) some credit! =)

Heavenly Father i commit my earthly father's salvation into your hands!
