Proverbs 25:2
King James Version
8 Jun 2026
“It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.”
חָקַר
To be fully known and not rejected — that is the miracle of Psalm 139. Chaqar is the searching of a jeweller examining a stone, a judge examining evidence. God has searched you completely. He knows the parts you hide from everyone else. And He has not turned away. That is the foundation of all confidence.

In Hebrew, dabar is not just a word spoken — it is a word that accomplishes something. God's dabar does not return empty. The psalmist says this word is a lamp to his feet — not a floodlight revealing everything ahead, but enough light for the next step. That is faith.
