1O GOD, You are my God, earnestly will I seek You; my inner self thirsts for You, my flesh longs and is faint for You, in a dry and weary land where no water is. So I have looked upon You in the sanctuary to see Your power and Your glory. Because Your loving-kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise You. Ps 63:1-3
King David, a mere broken man empowered by the love of God to see and feel His Holy heart, searches. David seeks the power, the glory of God. Where does he look? in the sanctuary, the dwelling place, the secret place. Why does this highly esteemed king look for God? Because God's loving-kindness is better than life!! Life as king is nothing compared to experiencing the love and kindness of God! David believed in the riches of the knowledge of God, he must have taught his son Solomon this gem of wisdom, as he writes in the proverbs, the wise sayings of king Solomon:
2It is the glory of God to conceal a thing, but the glory of kings is to search out a thing. Proverbs 25:2
33Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unfathomable (inscrutable, unsearchable) are His judgments (His decisions)! And how untraceable (mysterious, undiscoverable) are His ways (His methods, His paths)! Romans11:33
29The secret things belong unto the Lord our God, but the things which are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all of the words of this law. Deut 29:29
It is our glory! It is our glory to hunger for more of God, to search for His ways, that we may know Him! He is holding out an invitation to share in His glory, and we are fools if we turn Him down. God became a man so that we could know Him in His glory! God so loved us that He gave! God has given us an opportunity for eternal glory and this comes from relying on Him, who loved us! Teach us Father to trust You in each moment of our lives, and to never become weary of waiting on You. Lord thank You for Jesus, thank You for dwelling within us, and for the promise that we will see Your face. Show us Your glory even now, that we may know You! I love You God. All glory, honor, and praise to our God, forever!!!
1 Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You, 2 as You have given Him authority over all flesh, that He should giveeternal life to as many as You have given Him. 3 And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. John 17:1-3
