*Topic: SECRET THINGS* .

_The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but those things which are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law. Deuteronomy 29:29._

Life is easier if everything could be seen. If we knew what the future holds for us. If we knew God’s timings. When Abraham went to offer Isaac, it would have been easier for Abraham if he knew what was to happen. He probably wouldn’t have spent a sleepless night. But Abraham had to wait in faith.

From our reading and pondering over Deuteronomy 29:29, It tells us plainly that the secret things belong to God and that which is revealed is for us.

Now how many of us do truly have a secret that is never revealed to anyone even the closest or the intimate partner of our lives? I am sure however transparent we are, we do have that which is secret that is known only to us and to God and not anyone else.

If simple human beings like us could have unrevealed secrets then how much more the God who created everything should have and could have?

Another important aspect that we have to consider is how much have we understood and put into practice the things that is revealed to us? If we are unable to understand most of the things around us, why worry about the things that are not revealed?

As children, there are things we don’t understand but God knows them all. Let us try to walk with God by accepting His will as the best in every situation.

*SONG*
Standing on the promises of Christ, my King,
Through eternal ages let his praises ring;
Glory in the highest, I will shout and sing,
Standing on the promises of God.
*Refrain* :
Standing, standing,
Standing on the promises of God, my Savior;
Standing, standing,
I’m standing on the promises of God.
Standing on the promises I cannot fall,
List’ning ev’ry moment to the Spirit’s call,
Resting in my Savior as my all in all,
Standing on the promises of God.

*PRAYER*
Lord you know all my secrets. May I never fool myself by thinking that there are things you do not know about me. Help me to surrender all to you in Jesus’ name amen.
