The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of this law. Deuteronomy 29:29
All parents certainly have a few "secrets" that they do not share with their children. Major holidays come to mind...the true identity of the Easter bunny and Santa Claus, to name a few. I could name several occasions where we have had to smuggle medicine into the boys’ food or drinks so that they would feel better..."Daddy, why is the milk pink?" "Yes son, I really enjoy Justin Beiber's music. Please, let's hear 'Baby' again for the one millionth time." (No sarcasm at all in the last statement!)
The more I think about it, there are many things that we too will probably never fully understand about God...secrets, if you will.
When we fully trust God's lead in our lives, we need to allow Him to direct our every step, each and every day. If you are like me, you kind of like to know how things are going to work out, but with our Loving Father, not knowing the future and trusting Him the same are what is most important in our walk of faith.
Whenever we find ourselves anxious about the future, or worrying, we must repent and return to God. There are many things we will never know or even begin to understand, but we must put our trust into the One who does know exactly what the future holds for us.
