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.
{ Deuteronomy 29;29 }
There are secret things that belong to the LORD our God, but the revealed things
belong to us …
 
There are many things God does not explain to us and many things that are hidden
and kept from us .These things belong to the LORD our God .For he is much wiser
than us and much smarter than us and doesn’t need your approval for anything
he does .So don’t try to always figure things out or have them explained ,obey
what you know to be true and do what you know to be right .Therefore, to him who
knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.{ James 4;17 }Remember, it
is sin to know what you ought to do and then not do it.
 
But the revealed things belong to us …God has revealed his word to us by
saying ; But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness..{ Matthew 6;33
}and all these things shall be added to you.
 
Seek first the kingdom of God .Are you doing this ? It has been revealed ,which
belongs to us .What are you doing about it ? How do you expect all these other
things in life to be added to you or have their proper place when you have not
obeyed the first part ?
How much time are you spending on yourself ? And how much time are you spending
on the things of God ? You do the math , where you spend the most time reveals
who your God is .For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.{
Matthew 6;21 }
 
And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage
and warn each other, especially now that the day of his coming back again is
drawing near.
{ Hebrews 10;25 } Again the revealed things belong to us .When was the last time
you spent time with other believers ? Do you even fellowship with other
believers ? Or are you neglecting meeting together for fellowship ? How do you
expect to know more about God’s plans for you if you neglect your brothers and
sisters ? Whom God uses to bless you and minister to you .
 
I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives
in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of
God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.{ Galatians 2;20 }
I myself no longer live, but Christ lives in me. So I live my life in this
earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me
 
 
I have been crucified with Christ ; it is no longer I who live…Have you had
your own funeral service yet ? A dead person no longer demands his rights , nor
his will for that matter . A dead person no longer lives for himself nor can he
because someone else has entered in and taken control ; Jesus Christ .Christ
lives in me ! But he never forces his way on anyone ,you must choose to die to
yourself .The self life must be dead ,crucified and buried .Are you still living
for yourself ? Doing things your way ? Advancing your own cause ? Your own plans
? Manipulating ,and using others for your own interests ?
Then you have not died but continue to promote yourself and seek to save your
life .Again the revealed things belong to us ; For whosoever will save his life
shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.{
Matthew 16;25 }
 
Lose your life in Christ and you will save it , if you are seeking to save your
life ,going your way , my way or the highway ,demanding your way ,seeking your
own way , living for self and the broad way ,you will lose it .
Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and
there are few who find it.{ Matthew 7;14 }
 
"For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways," says the
LORD
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your
ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts..{ Isaiah 55;8-9 }
