As I sat in the doctor's office the
other day I came across one of those pictures that you have to stare
at to find a hidden message. Not so discreetly, I stared into the
picture, hoping no one would notice. I even, less discreetly, put
the picture to my nose trying desperately to find the hidden words
that I was sure was there. Finally, the hidden words, appeared! I
sat back in total satisfaction but could not help but notice the
“eyes” peaking over the magazines at me.
What is it about something hidden that
we desperately want to find? I remember Larry playing “I Spy”
with Riley, our sweet granddaughter, when she was younger. He would
pick out something in the room and say with great, grandfatherly,
enthusiasm “I spy with my little eye” something.....blue.”
Riley would gaze around the room, and with prompting from Papa,
indeed, with her little eyes, find the secret object. With much
happiness, she would announce her finding as if she had found a great
treasure. She, as most of us, like finding what is hidden!
I will give you hidden treasures,
riches stored in secret places so that you may know that I am the
Lord, the God of Israel, who summons you by name. Isaiah 45:3
I love this scripture because I have so
many times found “hidden treasures” in the bible that met my need
at just the right time. Sometimes it is a scripture that I am
familiar with that reminds me of His amazing love or one that I have
never read before, but talks to my soul, precisely when I need it.
He always brings to my heart the truth, that He IS Lord of all
situations and even better, He knows me by my name.
How blessed I am that my Heavenly
Father shows me His hidden treasures, His riches stored in the Bible
and I don't even have to put my nose on the page.
