One day while we were watching some of our grandchildren at our house, at one point they commissioned me to hide a stuffed animal somewhere in our living room. When they commenced their search, it didn’t take them long to discover its hiding place. Therefore, I was asked to find a more difficult location on their next attempt. Apparently I succeeded. Even the older of the three who were involved couldn’t solve the mystery without being given a few hints as to the object’s location. We were laughing and enjoying the futility of their efforts as they would look past the hiding place, walk right by it, and otherwise fail in their search.
Let’s be careful that we don’t look at God and His will in a similar manner. Sometimes we can view His will for us as being some great mystery that He intentionally hides from us or tries to make difficult for us to unearth. God is not playing games with us while taking pleasure over our futile attempts to find out His plans and purposes for us. On the contrary, He wants us to know Him, to understand His will, and to live accordingly.
