About God’s secrets and glory…

Matthew 13:11 He replied, "The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them.

The world is a mess. The life of nations, families, and individuals is ridden with trouble, pain, and sorrow. In the trouble, pain, and sorrow of life there remain mysteries about God and how God works. Yet some people seem to have answers about God and how God works. God has revealed His mysteries only to those who worship and love Him. There are common sense reasons why God would reveal His secrets only to people who love Him, for people who love Him would not take advantage of His wisdom. Some people are blind to God because they could not glorify God even if given His secrets. Seeing and unraveling the secrets and wisdom of God are possible only as God wills and God permits. The more we are in God’s will, the more He is willing to show us. The more we are in His love, the more we understand about Him.

When trouble, pain, and sorrow come into your life, do all within your power to remain in Christ and remain with Him. When you do all within your power to remain in Him, then He will supply you with an abundance of power as He remains in you. When trouble, pain, and sorrow come into your life, do all you can to glorify God. Then, when you have done all you can to glorify God, He will reveal His secrets to you and He will glorify you before your Father in Heaven.
