Secrets

The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law. (Deuteronomy 29:29 ESV)

 

Secrets

 

Secrets normally cause division and conflict.  It hurts to be the foundation of a secret.  Secrets often come from arrogance and pride.  Keeping secrets is the cause of many broken relationships, and not keep secrets break different relationships.

 

Yet God has secrets.

 

He knows every motivation, every unspoken selfishness, every truth and every lie.

 

Beyond individual relationships, God also knows the reason behind every political upheaval, the true reason for the rise and fall of every nation, and the purpose of every cultural development.

 

Beyond human interaction, God knows every geological formation, every weather pattern, and the movement of each star and planet.

 

Not only do we NOT have that level of knowledge, but we could not process it if we did somehow know.

 

But God has revealed enough to us.  God has revealed more than enough to us.  God has revealed to us His plan of salvation, about which even the angels are unsure.  God has revealed to us the most important “Why” of the universe…  God has revealed to us Jesus.  God has revealed to us what He knows we can handle.

 

We are peculiar, we know God’s secrets. (At least some of them…)
