A Path Through . . .

(Found here ) “It is the glory of God to conceal a thing,      but the glory of kings is to search things out.” Some thoughts on what the above means after doing some research: God’s greatness is shown in the hiddenness and depth of His wisdom and providence. Divine mysteries invite humility and reverence rather than pride and should be humbly adored. Human rulers—and by extension wise people—are honored when they diligently seek truth, justice, and understanding. Human rulers and wise people should carefully search for truth and administer justice prudently. This verse reflects a biblical theme that wisdom requires patient searching and discernment, while God always transcends human understanding. The commentary I found also connects this verse to the idea that: God governs the universe with wisdom too deep for humanity to fully to grasp, while earthly rulers must labor to uncover facts and govern rightly.
