“The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things that
are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do
all the words of this law.” (Deut 29:29)
God withholds things. There are things that happen that we don't
understand, because God has not revealed them. We don't even know why
God hasn't revealed them. Maybe it's because it's beyond us. Maybe
it's because he's looking to call out our faith. Maybe there's
another reason that I don't get.
But while there are things God has withheld, there is much that God
has revealed. He is a God who communicates with us, who wants to be
near to us. And his is a God who treats us with such respect that he
allows us to choose whether or not we will be near him. Someday, the
secret things will be made plain. For now, we trust in what he has
revealed.
