Chaqar

Thursday, March 25, 2021

In Proverbs 25:2 it says, “It’s the glory of God to conceal a matter; it’s the glory of kings to search a matter” or to seek. The Hebrew word for seek is the word chaqar. Similarly, in the New Testament, Messiah says “Seek and you shall find.” Do you remember being a child and waking up on your birthday and you couldn’t wait to get up? That’s what the word chaqar really means. It also means early; to get up early. What is the Bible saying? Not just seek the Lord, but chaqar the Lord. It means you should be so fervent for the Lord, you wake up early to seek Him. Your heart is zealous. It’s not so much about the time of day, but your heart just can’t wait. You look forward to being with Him. You can’t wait to seek Him, to be with Him, to find Him eagerly with all your heart. That’s what it’s all about. That’s when you are going to be blessed. He said, chaqar, "Seek Me and you will find Me, when you search for Me with all your hear.”
