ENQUIRE EARLY AFTER GOD
“They returned and enquired early after God. And they remembered that God was
their Rock, and the high God their Redeemer.” Psalm 78:34-35
While we readily confess that no one believer has all the answers, we also
rejoice that our “spiritual experience may become richer as we see more and more
fully God’s great secret, Christ Himself; For it is in Him, and in Him alone,
that men will find all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge,” Col. 2:2-3,
Phillips. Yes, In Christ are all the divine treasures of that comprehensive
insight into the ways and purposes of God, and He is imparting of His truth
through the whole body, that we might be “fitly joined together and compacted
(raised up together) by that which every joint supplieth, according to the
effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto
the edifying of itself in love,” Eph. 4:16.
Paul also exhorts us to “comprehend with all saints”, Ephesians 3:18. Thus, we
are coming into the renewed mind together, as we receive from Him who is our
Head. And we would together seek after Him for greater dimensions of His
reality. “It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honor of kings is
to search out a matter,” Proverbs 25:2.
“And ye shall seek Me, and find Me, when ye shall search for me with all your
heart,” (Jeremiah 29:13). A Sunday morning meeting, or a mid-week night Bible
Study is not enough. People have become accustomed to leaning on these
“religious props” for their spiritual well being, but they find it is not
sufficient for the daily grind of the nitty-gritty. But we find that day by day
there is a reaching out for Him, requiring Him to impart a word in due season,
till with the prophet we can say, “The Lord God hath given me the tongue of the
learned, that I should know how to speak a word in due season to him that is
weary: He wakeneth morning by morning, He wakeneth mine ear to hear as the
learned,” Isaiah 50:4). The more we come to KNOW HIM, the more we shall be able
to “answer every man that asketh you a reason for the hope that is within you,”
I Peter 3:15).
