Proverbs 25:2 tells us, “It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, but the glory of kings is to search out a matter.” There is something significant about the language of this Scripture. Kings search out matters. They seek understanding, investigate, discern, ask questions and pursue wisdom. Spiritual maturity is not passive. God has given us His Word, His Spirit and access to Him through Christ, and we are invited to grow in our understanding of Him and His ways. Searchin

Scripture Jeremiah 29:4–11 Many people know Jeremiah 29:11. "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." It is a beautiful promise. Yet before God spoke those words, He first told His people how they were to live while they waited.

The

Foundational Scripture Isaiah 53:3 “He was despised and rejected by men, a Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief.” One of the revelations Isaiah gives about Christ in Isaiah 53 is not His miracles, power, or glory. Here, Isaiah reveals His rejection. This is deeply important because humanity often expects God to move through visible greatness, influence, strength, and outward appearance.
