“May hearts be encouraged, knit together in
love, to reach all the riches of full assurance of understanding and the
knowledge of God’s mystery, which is
Christ, in whom are hidden all the
treasures of wisdom and knowledge.”
Colossians 2:2, 3
There is something
intriguing and inviting about mystery and hidden treasure to me. I enjoy reading a good mystery story; it
engages me as I try and figure out ‘who done it’. And of course who isn’t enthralled in the
idea of hidden treasure? I remember
digging in the sand on the beach or dirt in the woods, hoping that I would find
something special.
I like to think
that God is a mystery and that there is something about hidden treasure in his
being. It keeps me engaged as I read the
Bible or as I look at the beauty of nature.
I am glad that I don’t know it all because somehow I think that would be
a very boring existence.
I have a very
filling and personal relationship with God and I do know a lot; but I don’t
know everything and I never will. But I will keep digging because it fills my
soul with love and joy to find each and every little detail that I do
discover. That is why I continually read
the Bible. Every time I pick it up I
discover something new.
No matter how many
times I have read a passage I still find a new little insight, or sometimes a
big insight. Just like you can never
step into the same river twice, I cannot read a verse of scripture twice. It is always different because I am
different; I keep becoming more sensitive to the Spirit as he is speaking. It continually amazes me.
