Hidden
When
looking at an optical illusion, our eyes have to adjust and be at the
right distance before we can distinguish the shape behind the various
colorful patterned blotches. The picture is always there; it's just unseen
until the correct moment of focus. When anything is hidden or out of our
direct range of perception, it still exists; it just hasn't been revealed
to us. There is no such thing as an unsolved mystery with God. He is all
knowing. The Lord will lead us to what he wants us to learn, and he will
one day make known what he may presently be hiding (see Deuteronomy 29:29).
It's
impossible to hide from God. He sees us when we sin, but he also knows
our need for help. When we're in danger, we can go to God for assistance.
The Bible illustrates this with an image of us hiding in him, finding
shelter, a resting place.
Nothing
is hidden from God-not our hearts or our actions.
