A few days ago I posted HERE some of the hiding places of God. Here are the reasons why God has secrets - not to exclude us from knowledge, but to draw us closer to Him, so we would know Him and be more like Him.
God's 5 secret hiding places: HERE
The reasons why God has secrets:
1. So that through the
revelation of God’s secrets and plans we would know His ways and learn how to
be obedient.
Deut. 29:29 The
secret things belong to the Lord our God, but those things which are revealed
belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this
law.
This is the definition of obedience
2. His secrets are our
protection against the enemy.
Ps. 27:5-6
5 For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion; In the
secret place of His tabernacle He shall hide me; He shall set me high upon a
rock. 6 And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around
me; Therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle; I will sing,
yes, I will sing praises to the Lord. Ps. 91:1
There is no safer place than being under His wings
3. So that we would have
confirmation of His Lordship, and that He is Lord over Israel.
Isa. 45:3 I
will give you the treasures of darkness And hidden riches of secret places,
That you may know that I, the Lord, Who call you by your name, Am the God of
Israel.
He is the Lord of All
4. So
that we might be filled with the Glory of God, and so we will be like Him.
1Cor. 2:7 But we
speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God
ordained before the world unto our glory (for our glorification, that is, to
lift us into the glory of His presence.
Amp.)
We try so hard to be like our Father...
5. So that the devil, his
angels or ungodly leaders would not know the great plans of God and stop them.
1Cor. 2:8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
It is important to see and understand
God's great plans
