beat #52 - jasmine [proverbs, day 25] (Saturday, May 25, 2013 / 8:44 PM)
v.2
"It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings."
there are many things that are concealed from us.
i have many questions, many doubts and hesitations, and I don't think those will ever be answered.
what does it mean really?
For the glory of God = matters concealed?
matters concealed = God's glory revealed?
Or maybe, it is a contrast between the way glory is respectively portrayed: God has to always conceal himself, because it is too overwhelming, but a king has to reveal, to prove trustworthiness, to display splendor.
even the meaning of this proverb is concealed from me.
time, space, language, understanding...cloaks and cloaks that layer meaning.
maybe those cloaks are also displays of the glory of God.
time.
space.
language.
wisdom.
maybe.
