It is the glory of God to conceal things,
but the glory of kings is to search things out.

via Passage: Proverbs 25:2 (ESV Bible Online).

I’ve been prone to consider this Proverb as aimed at exegesis of Scripture. Early in chapter 1 we are told Proverbs will contain the riddles of the wise, so there is some basis for this.

But nothing at all indicates this Proverb is meant to be so limited in scope.

Does your life make no sense?

Maybe your life is a riddle and you are royalty. Maybe you wish it were otherwise, but God is honoring you with glory.

Of course, the only way to “search things out” in such a case is to continue to live your life and not give up hope.

All that is gold does not glitter, and not all glory appears glorious at first. Proverbs is about dealing with trials and gaining from them. If you knew the time limit or the answer that would appear, then it wouldn’t really be a riddle and you would not be the king God is crowning.
