How to Know God’s Secrets

The secret of the Lord is with those who fear Him, and He will show them His covenant. Psalm 25:14 We love secrets because they often promise to bring excitement into our lives. Getting the inside scoop is a great feeling, and the one who listens to a secret feels valued by the one who tells it. In the spiritual world, many things seem to be hidden. We wander and stumble around, trying to figure out how to relate to God, how to follow His will, and how to relate to His people. King David understood that God doesn’t share His secrets with everybody – just those who “fear” Him. The term “fear of God” isn’t very popular today because it is misunderstood as being afraid of Him. It actually means “wonder and awe”, a sense that God is so powerful, so intelligent, and so loving that we can hardly imagine it. It is a sense of reverence and respect. If this is the basis for revelation, it is no wonder that so many people do not know God’s secrets. People who are overwhelmed with the awesome nature of God become good listeners, and God delights in sharing His secrets with them. But even those who are overwhelmed with the awesome nature of God often times have not dealt with the truths He has already revealed to them and they are therefore not ready for more revelation to be given – but that’s another blog for another day! Back to God’s secrets… What are those secrets? Are they the answers to decisions we need? Are they the reasons behind happenings in our lives? Are they the nature of His will for us? Are they the direction of His calling for our lives? Sometimes yes – but they are also much more than that. More often, God’s secrets focus on developing a godly perspective of our lives and on the revelation of His character. Therefore, we grow our trust in Him even when we can’t see His hand at work because He assures us that He is infinitely wise, loving, and in control. Ultimately, the biggest secret of all is that God has made us his own dearly beloved children in a covenant relationship with Him. So to know God’s secrets is to know God Himself well.
