A Summer Journey into the Mysteries of God - teaching by Julaine
I want to invite you on a journey with me. Let’s go on a “summer treasure hunt,” a journey where we will discover the beauty of an exciting, intimate relationship with an awesome Bridegroom who loves us unconditionally, likes and wants our company and adores us.
One of my favorite scriptures is Proverbs 25:2 which says,“It is the Glory of God to conceal a thing, but the glory of kings to search out a thing.” It is challenging to consider that there are treasures in God so bottomless that it will take a lifetime just to search them out. All will be revealed in eternity, but for now, I will never exhaust the unfathomable revelation absorbed in the scriptures. (Job 11:7 Can you fathom the mysteries of God? Can you probe the limits of the Almighty?)
Let’s begin by defining treasure hunt. Webster defines a treasure as someone or something considered exceptionally precious. The word hunt is an active verb meaning to look for something. Webster defines it this way: A hunt is to search for; seek; endeavor to obtain or find; to search (a place) thoroughly. A treasure hunt then is a thorough search in order to find something exceptionally precious. Our lifelong hunt is a search for the precious revelation into the mysteries and secrets of a loving Father and the Bridegroom Son all revealed by the Holy Spirit.
I Cor. 2:7 says this: But rather what we are setting forth is a wisdom of God once hidden and now revealed to us by God which God devised and decreed before the ages for our glorification (to lift us into the glory of His presence). (Amp)
Luke 8:10 says, The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to others I speak in parables, so that ‘though seeing, they may not see; though hearing, they may not understand’.
With the definition of a treasure hunt in place, let’s begin our quest in discovering the beauty of an exciting, intimate relationship with our Bridegroom King. We have to understand that we are on a chase for deep revelation that is hidden in scripture. This ultimately becomes our treasure hunt – to understand the Bridegroom King and His love hidden in the depths of the scriptures. Our quest this summer and our journey now become a slow walk into His Word that will take us a mile deep and inch wide. In the past, our silent pursuit has been to see how much of the scriptures we can read in a year. However, if we are to dig deep into the Word, it is not important how much we read but how thorough we go into every scripture and every word spoken through the Holy Spirit.. To do that, meditation now becomes the key to unlock these doors into the heart of a loving Father.
I am so excited to begin. Next week we will talk about how to meditate on the Word and receive the fresh breath of the Holy Spirit as He takes us deeper into His loving arms.
I can’t wait. Let’s make this our summer vacation and our summer journey together.
I Cor. 4:1 So then, men ought to regard us as servants of Christ and as those entrusted with the secret things of God.
Let’s take summer walks with Jesus; take time to be alone with Him and get to know deeply the One Who gave His life for us.
