The secret things ( 1 Corinthians 13 v 12 )

                                                                                                                                                                                                                      The secret things belong unto the Lord                                                                                                      our God, but the things revealed belong                                                                                                    to us                                                                                                                                                                         (Deuteronomy 29 v 29 )                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    In the book of Daniel 12 v 4 we read of a time when ,'many will go here and there to increase knowledge'.Man has a thirst for knowledge ,we want to know more and more.But the scripture above  tells us that only God knows all things,there will be things we not understand,we will always only know in part.. Raymond Brown writes ',Spiritual maturity does not guarantee an encyclopedic knowledge of the divine will.There are times when , in His inscrutable wisdom, God intentionally keeps us in the dark'.There are many people unfortunately who  refuse to accept what Jesus said as to when He would return,He said''It is not for you to know'' ( Acts 1 v 6- 7 )There are many mysteries relating to Gods sovereignty,which are hidden from us,likewise  as regards suffering,we do not have the answer. A lady who had suffered a great deal said the following,''Someday I will understand''.then shall we know, records Paul.Let us take our text to heart ,let us remember,the secret things belong unto the Lord our God.
