The more we know about God, the more we can see how ignorant we really are. I am in desperate need of His wisdom - His secrets that are reserved for those who love Him and walk in the fear of God.
His delight is to reveal secrets – our delight is to find it
1 Cor. 1:25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
Romans 11:33-36 (Message Bible)
Have you ever come on anything quite like this extravagant generosity of God, this deep, deep wisdom? It's way over our heads. We'll never figure it out.
Is there anyone around who can explain God?
Anyone smart enough to tell him what to do?
Anyone who has done him such a huge favor
that God has to ask his advice?
Everything comes from him;
Everything happens through him;
Everything ends up in him.
Always glory! Always praise!
Yes. Yes. Yes.
Oswald Chambers says:
"What is the sign of a friend? Is it that he tells you his secret sorrows? No, it is that he tells you his secret joys. Many people will confide their secret sorrows to you, but the final mark of intimacy is when they share their secret joys with you."
It is because of God's great love for us, and His desire for intimacy with His sons and daughters, that He draws us in to deeper knowledge of His secrets. He is waiting to commune with each of us today - to share His secret thoughts and impart to us more of His heart.
We often want to know things with our minds first, but so many of the secret things of God must be known with the spirit first - then the mind may catch up later. In other words, you might know a secret, but not even know what you know!
Human things are known before they are loved
Divine things must be loved before they are known
