Heavenly Secrets Faithfully Revealed On Holy Ground

 
We only know God because God has allowed us to know Him. He has called us by His grace to Himself and has drawn us there so that He can reveal Himself to us just as He pleases. Yet, it is the generally accepted practice of religions around the world to chase the Almighty all over the cosmos in order to track Him down, ultimately "find" Him, and, hopefully, "please" Him.

But that is a fruitless game designed by our enemy, the great deceiver. For as hard as pathetically small and limited humans try, no one could ever hope to apprehend and then even begin to understand God – no one! Can you imagine the futility of such an endeavor? No person can ever hope to fill the void and natural yearning in their soul for an intimate relationship with their Creator through their simplistic intellect and expect to end up finding God on their terms. Meeting and understanding God always and only happens on His terms and by His sovereignty.

As you approach tonight's eventide, remember God's promise to every child called by His Name: "The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our sons forever…." (Deuteronomy 29:29)

If you have been redeemed, then God has selected you for His own mysterious reasons as one out of 100 billion souls who have ever lived so that He can love you, sacrifice Himself for you, and minster to you. And if that were not spectacular enough, God has chosen you to whisper secrets in your ear here on the Holy Ground of the night watch! Remember what God said to the prophet Jeremiah regarding that:

"Call unto Me and I will answer you and I will tell you great and mighty things which you do not know." (Jeremiah 33:3)

Again and again in His Word, God has promised to enlighten us with the secrets of living day to day, as well as all the mysteries of eternal life and the marvelous things of the Kingdom of God each and every time we ask. And God is perfectly just and faithful to deliver on His promises each time without failure. Tonight, beloved, do not close your eyes until you have heard your Righteous Father fully and completely. For you are exceedingly blessed to be the recipient of secrets whispered to you by the Great Lord of lords and Kings of kings that even the angels long to hear! (1 Peter 1:12)
