 Gods Secret Things
 God has his secrets as wei as man. and there are secret things whi ''. belon: unto the Lord There are some things which even the angels i: heaven have a desire to look into aud yet are unknown to them. Is it uo;. therefore, rather strange that the-a should be those today who claim to have power to reveal things which God himself says not even the angels ii. heaven know? Aod would it be for our good to know things which God sees it to withhold from us: Would it add to the child's happiness to know all about the future trials and diHeHl- ties through which it must pass: And is it possible for a child to know: N'r are infants in Gods great school her. on earth, and time is required 10 learn the great lessons of life. Now We see through a siass darkIy No one eaH judge what the sprngtme will be hv a cold. wet May daE. And even l.:tf cold, wet day is necessary to Ati..e make the straw and hay for the far,n CT Nature itself keeps locked up fro! mans knowledge many of its most precious treasures until a time when such are needed Then the storehas!. is opened and mans needs are sun piled. That there are mysteries in the Bible and ia religion is nothIl.s strange, for God is infinite and laan finite How. therefore, shall n;la n d, things ba able to interpret the l.- finite: l. l man cannot understand eren the little flower, how shall a. know tg..y God and h.s ways: "',he secret things belong unto the Lor." as regards many Of the fundameis;a1 principles of religion, and this is why we walk by faith" and not by sight In many of the things of life which Ws call mysterious or regard as har>a judgments from God, if we understood "the secrets of the Lord" we WoT.d praise God instead of murmuring. io: the greatest of blessings are often con cealed beneath the rough exterior of providence. Perfected through sui fering" is the record of many of the redeemed il glory, and many of Gods own chosen children are today passing through great tribu.ation. that suffer!n. with their Master they may at last !fe glorifed with him in heaven. The why" is at present one of the secret things which belong unto the Lord Heaven will be the place of under standing when all the secret things of the Lord will be revealed. God wA tell us just IS soon as we are able ta would do us harm to know. Mean while We have the pron. SC that - things work together for good to the;a that love the Lord' and that we S'i'3 not want" because the Lord is D shepherd We may therefore Sat' rest our cause with God. "t:,!~t.:' where We cannot see" Happily .!,e' is sufficiently revealed unto us wh.-.= by We can follow our guide and f,s. no danger" for lie will b.:ns the bind by way that they know no, !:e will lead them into paths that the, have not known He will make da,k. ness light for them and crooked things straight. These things will 'te do unto them and will not forsake them. Rev.
