“The secret things belong unto the Lord our God; but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law”— Deuteronomy 29:29.
MUCH that was secret in Moses’ day has been revealed now. Jesus said, “I will utter things kept secret from the foundation of the world.” All that has been revealed is for us, and should challenge our hearts to enter into and enjoy. There are still mysteries that we cannot solve and that God has not been pleased, as yet, to reveal, but some day all will be made plain. “In the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, then shall the mystery of God be finished.” Till then we are to appropriate in faith all that has been unfolded, as we study the Word in dependence on the Holy Spirit.
“O teach me, Lord, that I may teach
The precious things Thou dust impart;
And wing my words, that they may reach
The hidden depths of many a heart.
O give Thine own sweet rest to me,
That I may speak with soothing power
A word in season, as from Thee,
To weary ones in needful hour.”
—F. R. Havergal.
