Are mysteries meant to be mysterious?
Or are they seeds, waiting to be watered with curiosity, faith, and fire?
Have you ever sat with your thoughts in complete silence and just... wondered?
Like really wondered, not just the surface level kind of curiosity, but the deep, soul searching kind. The one that makes you question things people don’t like to talk about. The one that makes you look at life sideways and ask, "What exactly is going on here?"
I remember asking my mum about something strange that happened when I was much younger. It wasn’t anything dramatic, just one of those eerie, goosebumps type moments that couldn’t be explained. She looked at me, paused, and simply said, “It’s a mystery. Leave it as it is.”
That was the end of the conversation. No long talk… No extra gist… No attempt at unpacking it... Just silence wrapped in that word MYSTERY.
But my mind? It’s not wired to stop there. My thoughts are loud. My intuition is restless… I don’t know how to just leave things hanging. I start to wrestle, and my questions gather like an army:
Are mysteries meant to stay mysterious forever?
Are they sealed by design, or are they just waiting for the right person, the right moment, the right light?
As someone who deeply loves history but somehow ended up walking the path of science, I live in a strange in-between. I’ve read enough historical accounts to know that there are real events, not fiction, that logic simply can't hold. Things like dreams that reveal the future, encounters with strangers who say things they shouldn’t know, only to vanish afterward, and sudden recoveries that leave even medical experts speechless. These are not fairy tales, they are recorded, real experiences…
And each time I bring them up or think too long about them, I hear society’s gentle dismissal: “We’re not meant to understand everything. Our minds are too small.”
But I’m starting to ask myself, is that really true?
Or is the problem not with our minds… but with our access?
Because I’ve come to believe that some mysteries aren’t hidden from us to punish us, they’re hidden for us to pursue. They are sacred invitations, not closed doors. They don’t mean “don’t ask” they mean “ask deeper.”
The Bible makes this incredibly clear in Jeremiah 33:3, where God says,
“Call to me and I will answer you, and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.”
Did you catch that?
“Unsearchable” doesn’t mean “unknowable.”
It means you won’t find it on the surface. It’s not the kind of information you stumble upon scrolling social media or casually flipping through a book. You have to call... You have to dig... You have to seek with intention and trust that God is not silent for the sake of silence, He's silent sometimes to deepen your hunger.
Even Proverbs 25:2 puts it beautifully:
“It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings.”
God conceals things, not to frustrate us but to draw us into relationship. He wants us to sit with Him, to ask questions, to knock on the door of understanding. Because mystery, at its best, should lead us to intimacy with God. It’s a setup, not a shutdown.
We’ve gotten too comfortable with dismissing things as “not for us to know.” But the truth is some things can be known. Some secrets are waiting to be revealed. And the Holy Spirit, if you allow Him, will begin to unveil insights, discernment, and revelation far beyond what a degree or Google search can give.
1 Corinthians 2:10 reminds us:
“But God has revealed them to us by His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.”
That means even the deep things…
The things that trouble you in the middle of the night…
The questions you carry in silence because you're afraid of sounding "too spiritual" or "too sensitive."
The strange seasons, the patterns, the dreams, the delays… all of it.
God knows…
And better still, He’s willing to share… when you ask in faith.
So maybe the mystery you’re facing right now isn’t meant to stay mysterious,
Maybe it’s not a dead end
Maybe it’s the doorway into the next version of who you’re meant to become
Maybe that unanswered prayer…
That confusing delay…
That strange sense of déjà vu…
That dream that keeps repeating…
It’s not a distraction, It’s a direction.
God doesn’t hide things to confuse us, He hides them to call us higher…
So don’t shelve it and move on…
Don’t drown your wondering with “na only God know.”
Ask…
Seek…
Knock…
And trust that if He started a mystery in your life, He’s more than willing to complete it with meaning.
Because sometimes, and I’ve seen this, ‘what felt like a mystery becomes the very ministry that changes your life… and others’.
So I’ll ask you again:
Are mysteries meant to be mysterious forever?
Or are they seeds, waiting to be watered with curiosity, faith, and fire?
