The Mysteries Of God ~ Are They Unsearchable?

Men explore the depths of the sea, to know it's secrets and mankind searches out the heavens to know it's mysteries, even though, it's boundaries seem unsearchable ~ But who searches the heart of God to know it's passions? Who searches out the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven? Are their any dissatisfied with the superficial things? Are you one of them? One of His seekers? But can the "deep things of God" really be searched out and known by men? Who is, actually, able to plumb the depths of God ~ to know His heart, to know God's secret wisdom? Do we know? Can you? I will let you discern the answer for yourself from the following passages ~

Job 11:7 says,
"Can you fathom the mysteries of God? Can you probe the limits of the Almighty? They are higher than the heavens ~ what can you do? They are deeper than the depths of the grave ~ what can you know? Their measure is longer than the earth and wider than the sea?"

1 Corinthians 2:9-10 says,
We do however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. No, we speak of God's secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began. None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. However, it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind conceived what God has prepared for those who love Him"~ but God has revealed it to us by His Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. For who among men knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. We have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us. This is what we speak, not in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words. The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. The spiritual man makes judgements about all things, but he himself is not subject to any man's judgement: "For who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct him?" But we have the mind of Christ.  (Who can search the deep things of God?)

Matthew 13:10-11 says,
The disciples came to him (Jesus) and asked, "Why do you speak to the people in parables?" He replied, "The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them. Whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him. This is why I speak in parables: "Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.

1 Corinthians 4:1 says,
"Let a man so consider us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God."

Colossians 1:25-27 says, "~of which I became a minister according to the stewardship from God which was given to me for you, to fulfill the word of God, the mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now has been revealed to His saints." (To whom has is been revealed?)

Ephesians 3:8-10 says,
"Although, I am less than the least of all God's people, this grace was given to me: to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, and to make plain to everyone the administration of this mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things."

Ephesians 6:18-20 says, "~ praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints ~ and for me, the utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains ~"

1 Corinthians 15:51-52 says, "Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed ~ in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed."

Ephesians 5:32 says, "This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church."

Do you search out the deep things of God? Do you plumb the depths? Do you know the secrets of the mysteries of the kingdom heaven? Has God revealed the unsearchable riches of Christ to you? Are you tapped into God's secret wisdom? If so, are you in pursuit and seeking to go "deeper still"? Dig, my friend! Take the time, to know Him intimately, to plumb the depths of God! Make Him your life pursuit, your passion! Are you one of His seekers? Do you seek His face? Will you recognize His coming? Or will you be fooled?

"Who can ascend the hill of the Lord? Who may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift his soul to an idol or swear by what is false. He will receive a blessing from the Lord and vindication from God his Savior. Such is the generation of those who seek Him, who seek His face, O God of Jacob." (Psalm 24: 3-6)

Do you understand this mystery? Or is it just foolishness?
