Augustine was asked a question, 'What was God doing before He made the world'? Augustine answered, 'Making hell for people who ask questions like that''. The fact is there are so many things we don't about God,and we may never know. God is under no obligation to tell us everything. Deuteronomy 29 v 29,tells us,'The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children for ever, that we may follow all the words of the law'. We have two things highlighted in this verse, God has His secrets which He will not reveal to us,but there are things He has revealed to us.Nothing is going to change that,it will remain locked to us those secret things.That is where obedience and trust comes in, when God commands us do something then we must obey,though it may cost us everything. Whatever it may cost us,we are called to trust our God and follow Him,ours is not to reason why our's is but to do or die',Why is it,I continually hear the words ,'Trust Me'?, for that's what I need to do, that's what we all need to do,it was Edgar Page Stiles who wrote the following hymn.
'Simply trusting everyday,trusting through a stormy way;
Even when my faith is small,trusting Jesus that is all.
Brightly doth His Spirit shine,into this poor heart of mine;
While He leads I cannot fall, trusting Jesus that is all.
Singing,if my way be clear; praying if the path be drear;
If in danger,for Him call; trusting Jesus that is all.
Trusting Him while life shall last,Trusting Him till earth shall past,
Trust within the jasper wall; Trusting Jesus, that is all.
Trusting as the moments fly,
Trusting Him as days go by;
Trusting Him whate'er befall
Trusting Jesus that is all.'
