The secrets of life that only God knows the answers to as he keeps them a secret for a reason.
Answers, we all want answers in one form or another in order to know what we are doing and what we are supposed to do. We want answers to various things to what something is to why some particular thing happened to us and why did God allow it to happen. Most of all, when you start following Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you think you will get all the answers to life from the bible. We are right to believe that following the one and true God who has made everything and has the answers to everything would be willing to share the answers, right? Well, it’s not that simple, God is willing to share the answers on topics he is willing to share them about. If you were to ask what would happen in the next say five hours or five years, he may or may not answer them for it is his surprise. The biggest question I believe everyone has or will eventually have is, what is in hold for them in their future and who will they become?
This is a question that can steal our time as we think about it more and try to find the answer ourselves, there are things we can do to ensure a good future, but ultimately, we do not know what it will be. We can be a catastrophist and think the worst-case scenario when we encounter problems and spend time on preparing for that. This is something the enemy will want you to do, if he can get you to stop looking toward and at God and back at your situation and problems, he can trap you back into sin. This fear is what the enemy will use to convince you that you are not enough or strong enough to handle what is happening, and that may be correct, however this fear will keep you there. Instead, look toward the one that not only knows your future and your situation but also holds both of them in his hands as you are going about. Look to God with faith and ask for the guidance and strength to get through these storms whilst not relying on your wisdom, knowledge, or strong. Having faith is knowing that your Heavenly and good Father is in control and that you do not have to worry but can rest soundly in his arms.
We will never know what kind of battles life will through at us, however, we do know the one who is in charge and who can strengthen us in these times. In tough times, ask God to strengthen you through his Holy Spirit knowing at just the right time, his provision -whatever it may be – will be there waiting for you. In these tough times, we may ask God why he allows sufferings and pains unto his children and why he doesn’t take them from us. Job had many questions and was asked many questions, and he gave good rebuttals. His friends were of absolutely no help since they basically said it was his own doing and fault for his own suffering and yet they continued to berate him nonstop. God may allow you to suffer and then your friends to provide basically no support in order for you to trust him entirely with what you are dealing with. We know that God holds things as secrets and keeps them from us and that too can be most of the answers to why he allows suffering, we may never entirely know why he allows us to suffer at all and that’s ok. All we have to know is that he is with us and that he will get us through whatever we are dealing with and that he works on us continuously.
We are promised this in the New Testament in Philippians 1:6, with being told that God will continue to work on us until the second coming of Christ. People have theories and questions about the second coming of Jesus, we will never know exactly when he will return just that he will. People have tried to say they figured it out with math and their human logic, and I believe they have forgotten that God isn’t tied down by human logic. God is not human and is therefore not confined by human logic. The only two things we know is that he IS coming back one day, and we have been told what to look for. Just as we can discern the season changes with how trees and the weather act, we are told to lookout for “weather events” in the world for when his coming is near. Jesus himself doesn’t know since he says, “Only the Father in Heaven knows the time and day”.
This time can be tomorrow, five years, or five decades; we will never know when. We only know what to look for and to look forward to it as a promise of returning to him in perfect harmony. We are also told to always be ready since we do not know when he is coming, making sure we are nice and clean for him and have a relationship with him. So no, we will never know the answers to everything and that’s ok. Put your faith and in trust in the one who does know the answers to everything. Do this and everything will be Okay, may God bless and keep you, Amen!!!!
