The secret things

Written By Pastor Victor Tafoya
Devotion in Motion
Dueteronomy 29:29
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.”
In other words, “never let what you don’t know, distract you from what you do know.” Look ,There are a million mysteries in life – most of which won’t get unraveled until we get to heaven.
There are things that the Almighty won’t reveal to us until then.
Remember Job never read the first two chapters of the book of Job. The reason for all his problems was a mystery to him.
Yet God still expected Job to trust in His sovereignty.
Here is a level of faith we all need to reach – where we accept God as God… God doesn’t owe me an explanation for what He does, nor does He need my permission to do it. God can do whatever He wants and I’ll still worship Him.
I love the quote, “What’s over my head is still under God’s feet.”
Hey, an infinite God shouldn’t be expected to explain His every move to finite minds like ours , he just expects us to trust Him and reverence Him. In fact, I’m thankful for a God who maintains some mystery– A God Who’s impossible to figure out.
If puny creatures like you and me could figure God out, He wouldn’t be much of a God.
Remember Isaiah 55:8-9, “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,” says the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.”
Here’s the point of verse 29, don’t let God’s secret things divert you and me from His clear commands. Let God have His secrets.
What He reveals you obey.
As Mark Twain once said, “It ain’t those parts of the Bible I don’t understand that bother me – it’s the parts I do understand, and need to obey that do”
