The Kingdom of God is often an upside down Kingdom. God rarely does anything that makes sense to the natural mind. You would think that the birth of Jesus would be surrounded by fanfare, pomp and circumstance. Jesus was NOT born out in the open in a regal setting. He was found wrapped and hidden in a manger. Scripture teaches that our lives are hidden like treasure in Christ. God is not playing games with us, but it does seem that He rewards a diligent seeker. He tells us that we will find Him, if we seek Him with our WHOLE heart. There are things that are hidden in plain sight. If you will open the eyes of your heart and earnestly look for Him, you will find that He was there ALL THE TIME.
