God's Secrets

God's Secrets "It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings." Proverbs 25:2 In the United States government, there are over 50 million files classified as “top-secret.” In many cases, these files remain classified to protect people who were informants, and others to safeguard things that citizens do not need to know about our national defense, and military powers. However, there is someone who knows the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, and He has secrets too, as described in the scripture above. “God delights in "concealing things", while scientists delight in "discovering things." Human beings are naturally curious, physicists have worked entire lifetimes, only to uncover only small bits and pieces behind the secrets of what makes the universe work. It seems the more that is discovered; the more we find there is to learn. It is humbling to know that in spite of tremendous advances in knowledge, we still know very little about the universe. It's quite possible that how it all works may always remain a secret until God Himself reveals it to us someday. All of us have done things or thought things that we wouldn't want anyone else to know about. We even live in denial, often refusing to admit our faults, even to ourselves. However, while we may be successful in hiding our sins from others, and even from ourselves, no amount of denial can hide them from God. He tells us that he “knows our heart’s secrets. One day we will stand before the throne of judgments, and all our secrets will be revealed, there will be no denial, and no longer a chance for redemption, or forgiveness. Our choices will have been made, and our final destination will have been determined, as we will spend all eternity either in Heaven or in Hell. However, it is not too late for you to choose your eternal home, but you are not promised tomorrow, so do it today. Robert W. Brock My Daily Devotional Volume Seven January 3
