Hidden Treasures

“He reveals deep and hidden things; he knows what lies in darkness, and light dwells with him.” Daniel 2:22

This is one of my favorite verses in the entire Bible! It assures my soul that no matter what darkness I experience it lays bare before the LORD. There are neither surprises nor circumstances that didn’t first pass through the filter of God.

For something to be hidden means someone had to place it there for our discovery. This reminds me of when our children were little and Bruce use to “plant” pre-bought shark’s teeth as we took the kids looking for treasures in the sand. He was well aware of where he had hidden these treasures and would guide the kids to that direction.

Our Father does the same thing as we search our lives for answers. He knows the hidden things He has purposed for us and if we will allow Him complete guidance of our lives He will reveal where these divinely appointed treasures lay.

His light consists of His knowledge, His understanding and His resolutions of all of our challenges. If all of this dwells and lives within Him and we allow Him to dwell within us, we receive this Light through the transfer of spirits.

Darkness is only dark to the one who cannot see but we “will do well to pay attention to it (God’s light), as to a light shining in a dark place until the day dawns and the morning star rises.” (2 Pet 1:19 – italicized mine)

Once our day dawns and all darkness is revealed we will see the perfect Light of God on previously darkened areas. We will never come out of the darkness without new knowledge, new wisdom and the light of a new day.

Trust in the Light that will expose and reveal the treasures that lay in the dark.
