Lord about the matter, search for wisdom in the Scriptures and keep bringing it before Him. Ecclesiastes 11:1 (NKJV) says, ?Cast your bread upon the waters, for you will find it after many days.? What a place of rest this is! ?Rest?? you ask. YES! Rest! Hebrews 4:11 says strive to enter into the rest of God. Rest isn?t a passive word meaning we are to do nothing. In fact, rest means that we are quieted and at peace when we trust in the Lord. If you consistently work to search out a concealed matter, you must believe that you will find what you seek. You must believe that, when you seek the Lord, you will find Him. If you struggle with trust and are not yet at rest, commit to search out the matter before the Lord. I imagine that, as you continue to invest in consistent work to search out a matter, your trust in God is strengthened ? the more you commit to coming to Him to search it out. It?s like a monetary investment. We don?t invest in stocks we don?t have faith in to pay us dividends. The more faith we have in a particular

stock, the more we invest in that stock. The song lyrics explain this, ?As Your love, in wave after wave crashes over me, crashes over me...? Get a picture in your mind of what?s happening? LITTLE UNDERSTANDING__ We leave the shoreline with little understanding and accept His invitation and calling to come into the water, into the waves. We strive to get from the shoreline to the waves. But, we will make it there. Once in the waves, they crash over ? and over and over ? us. There is an abundance of water ? waves that crash over and over ? based in His love. In other words, as we work consistently, we find what we are searching for. After all, out of His great love for us, the Lord 13 His Word, Your Hope EnduringHopeMinistries.com
