What does Proverbs 25:2 mean?

Recognizing God's glory includes accepting that He is far higher and greater than any created person (Isaiah 55:8–9). Finite persons can only grasp a limited sense of God's full nature (Romans 11:33). God expresses His glory to humanity both in what He reveals (Psalm 19:1; Romans 1:18–20) and in what He chooses to leave obscured (Deuteronomy 29:29; Isaiah 45:15). As the only omnipotent, omniscient, perfect Creator, the Lord is entirely justified in choosing what He will or will not reveal.

At the same time, limited people are obligated to seek understanding within our limitations. It's to the credit of rulers and those in authority to diligently seek out truth. These leaders are charged with important earthly decisions; it would be foolish of them to rush to judgment. A decision made without knowing all facts might prove disastrous (Proverbs 11:14; 18:13, 17). The same principle applies to modern government leaders. They are wise to weigh matters carefully before making decisions. It is important as well that believers guide their lives by the teachings of God's Word (Proverbs 1:7; 1 Corinthians 4:6) rather than by circumstances or emotions (Jeremiah 17:9; Romans 12:1–2).
