The search… the search for reality, the search for significance and purpose, the search for truth and wisdom (real wisdom!) … and if the truth be known really a search for God! Perhaps you remember your search… Where did it end up? Were you satisfied? I remember mine… And this morning I read about Agur’s, a guy whose words are recorded in Proverbs – honest word, frustrated words – but words that have an answer, a very satisfying answer!
Agur cries out, “I am weary, O God; I am weary, O God and worn out! Surely I am too stupid to be a man! I do not have the understanding of a man!”
Then he admits, “I have not learned wisdom, nor have I knowledge of the Holy One!”
Finally, Agur follows it up with profound and probing questions: “Who has ascended to heaven and come down? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has wrapped up the waters in a garment? Who has established all the end of the earth? What is His name and what is His sons name? Surely you know!?” (Quoted from Proverbs 30:1-4 ESV) Job, in the Old Testament, uttered questions like this and found the answer, just as I have (check out Job 28 in your Bible!).
Let me tell you, I’ve found the answer to that quest – those questions! The answer to it all is “the Living God” – Creator God – “the Almighty God!” He has revealed Himself in all that has made – the world in which we live, the universe! He has not left us to flounder in our search – the answers are provided in His inspired word – the Bible! And “His Son” – as we’re told in Scripture: “The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen His glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth!” (John 1:14). He is the Lord Jesus Christ – the One who reveals the Heavenly Father to us and is our Savior!
Yes, Agur… your questions – your search – is like that of many people today! And as a Christian let me tell you I’ve found the answer!!
