"Hidden Secret" -2

"Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable." (Psalms 145:3)

   Escuse me if I take a little extra time with this, as I find it a little more interesting to talk about, seeing that commentary regarding this verse is a little thin. The word that has me interested in this, is the word "unsearchable," mostly because it has several different meanings; but mainly, that almost all of those meanings are declaring that there is something that needs to be searched out or found out. One such meaning that is a little different, is the thought of, "without number," which does not mean that it can't be searched out or found out, it just means that the search is never over, or that there is no end to finding out! Hidden secret is just one of the definitions that caught my curiosity, because I am so familiar with Paul's expression in Ephesians 5:32, where he says, "This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church." The reason Paul said that, was because he was quoting something said at the time of creation, and was also repeated by Jesus: "For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh." I really don't need to tell anyone that is a believer how that works, because we all have experienced what it is like to be One with our Creator; but what I am trying to get us to think about is how this experience never gets old or without learning something new about the One that made us. To help us realize how that might look like, John finished his Epistle by saying, "And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen." Notice that he used the word, should, in place of the word, could; because his point is that they could not, because they are without number! Maybe, when that day comes, when we see Him face to face, as we see Him as He is known, we will be able to understand everything we need to, or could ever know; but even then, I am sure there will still be more and more to learn. Fortunately for us, we will have the time to search it out...

"O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counselour? Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again? For in him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be the glory for ever. Amen." (Romans 11:33-36)
