GOD SAYS “I SEARCH.”
IF HE DOES NOT TRULY SEARCH WHY DOES HE SAY THIS?
Numbers 10:33 And they departed from the mount of the LORD three days’ journey: and the ark of the covenant of the LORD went before them in the three days’ journey, to search out a resting place for them.
Deuteronomy 1:33 Who went in the way before you, to search you out a place to pitch your tents [in], in fire by night, to shew you by what way ye should go, and in a cloud by day.
I Chronicles 28:9 And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the LORD searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever.
Psalms 139:23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
Jeremiah 17:10 I the LORD search the heart, [I] try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, [and] according to the fruit of his doings.
Romans 8:27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what [is] the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to [the will of] God.
I Corinthians 2:10 But God hath revealed [them] unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
Revelation 2:23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.
WHY DOES GOD SAY HE SEARCHES IF HE ALREADY KNOWS??
TO SAY I WILL SEARCH FOR SOMETHING WHEN I ALREADY KNOW THE FACT OR LOCATION IS RATHER STUPID. BE ASSURED, GOD (THE MOST INTELLIGENT BEING IN THE UNIVERSE) DID NOT MAKE STUPID STATEMENTS IN HIS BOOK.
THE SEARCH IN THESE VERSES MEANS IN THE HEBREW AND GREEK EXACTLY THE SAME AS WE UNDERSTAND SEARCH IN ENGLISH. IN THE STRONG’S HEBREW DICTIONARY THE NUMBER IS 8446 AND 2713. IN THE GREEK DICTIONARY THE NUMBER IS 2045.
