“The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of this law.” Deuteronomy 29:29 (NIV)
Secrets. We all like to be a part of the inner group who knows them. But there are some things God has kept secret unto himself. Secret knowledge is tantalizing. Remember that the adversary seduced Eve with secret knowledge.
Revelations, on the other hand, are available for all to read and study. Remember that God has graciously revealed everything we need for our eternal destiny. Consider his directions. Note how he guides us despite our understanding. He has provided sufficient information to enable us to make right choices for our future. Remember, the just shall live by faith! No one claims that living by faith is easy. Sometimes not knowing the secrets of the future is frightening. Most of the time, it depends upon our conscious ability to identify his voice in our lives.
Dear Father, thank you for your mercy and grace. We are grateful for your guidance despite our understanding. Forgive us for not listening more attentively. Empower us with faith. Enable us to be more sensitive to your voice. This I pray in Jesus’ name. AMEN
Let us praise God for his revealed truth and faithfully follow it,
