你想讓神向你揭示祂的秘密嗎？你想知道 "主的秘密"嗎？神既是秘密的揭示者，也是秘密的守護者。祂會揭示好的秘密，也會保守壞的秘密。但這些秘密究竟是什麼呢？

秘密是指那些聽起來很神秘的東西，通常被隱藏起來，或者不讓我們看到；那些可能不為人知的東西，或者機密。

我年輕時，我媽媽只要說："我有個秘密要告訴你們"，她就會讓我們全神貫注。秘密是，而且一直是，如此吸引人和有吸引力--特別是對小孩子！。

啟示--祂應許的秘密

有時我們認為上帝有秘密；我們認為也許上帝對我們有所隱瞞。特別是當涉及到禱告和向神詢問某些我們相信祂的事情的時候。我們可能會想，肯定有什麼秘密，祂就是不告訴我們！但我想提醒你的是，在我們的生活中，有很多事情是不可能的。但我想提醒你，主的話語在詩篇25:14中說："耶和華與敬畏他的人親密；他必將自己的約指示他們。"

我喜歡《激情翻譯》的說翻譯："有一個個人的地方留給委身於雅威的情人，在那裡他們坐在祂身邊，領受祂應許的啟示--秘密（'應許'是指祂盟約的秘密）"。

談到啟示的秘密，真正的關鍵是敬畏主。神總是想向祂的孩子們揭示祂自己--那些敬畏和尊重祂的孩子，他們渴望在祂面前。

我喜歡我和我的家人在一起放鬆的時候（比如我們在度假的時候），我們發現自己只是坐在一起，彼此分享。突然間，問題開始爆發了。我們的女兒想知道的包括：我們在她們這個年齡時是什麼樣子的？是什麼讓我們做我們所做的事情（尤其是在談到音樂和事工時）？到底有什麼秘訣？當談到與員工建立關係時，我們該怎麼做？我們如何在敬拜中從一件事過渡到另一件事？

這些問題層出不窮。他們真正在尋找的是一些 "商業秘密"，特別是當涉及到我的女兒艾麗卡問她爸爸打鼓的問題時。(她喜歡打鼓。)

屬於上帝的秘密事物

如果說我對我的上帝有什麼瞭解，那就是我發現祂是一位信實的父。

在寶貴的聖靈的奇妙幫助下，祂總是在引領、指導、指示和引導我。祂總是在我們耳邊說著只有祂知道的我們生活中的深層秘密。

但以理書2:21-22說："他改變時候、日期，廢王，立王，將智慧賜與智慧人，將知識賜與聰明人。他顯明深奧隱祕的事，知道暗中所有的，光明也與他同居。"

隱祕的事是屬耶和華─我們神的；惟有明顯的事是永遠屬我們和我們子孫的，好叫我們遵行這律法上的一切話。（申命記29:29）。

神想向我們揭示祂的秘密

我喜歡祂說祂是一個揭示奧秘和秘密的人。在我們的生活中，很多時候我們會發現自己處在一個很深谷。我們可能會覺得自己的處於低谷，甚至看不到或摸不到底。但大衛說的話鼓舞我："我往哪裡去躲避你的靈？我往哪裡逃、躲避你的面？我若升到天上，你在那裡；我若在陰間下榻，你也在那裡。"（詩篇139:7-8）。

不管你去哪裡，也不管你和誰在一起，你都無法擺脫上帝在你生命中的存在。祂知道你知道和你不知道的秘密。因此，我們不妨去做大衛所說的那樣做。"你們眾民當時時倚靠他，在他面前傾心吐意；神是我們的避難所。（細拉）"（詩篇62:8）。神想知道你心中所有的秘密，以便祂能向你揭示祂的秘密。

聖經說："耶和華的眼目遍察全地，要顯大能幫助向他心存誠實的人。......"（歷代志下16:9ａ）。祂正等待著向我們所有人揭示祂的秘密，這樣我們就能在祂所有的充實中認識祂。

勤奮尋求祂的人

我記得在民數記第12章中讀到，亞倫和米利暗反叛摩西。上帝突然出現了：

"'耶和華在雲柱中降臨，站在會幕門口，召亞倫和米利暗，二人就出來了。耶和華說：你們且聽我的話：你們中間若有先知，我─耶和華必在異象中向他顯現，在夢中與他說話。我的僕人摩西不是這樣；他是在我全家盡忠的。我要與他面對面說話，乃是明說，不用謎語，並且他必見我的形像。你們毀謗我的僕人摩西，為何不懼怕呢？......"。（民數記12:5-8）

經文繼續揭示了上帝如何懲罰他們在眾人面前不尊重摩西的行為。神對祂與摩西，祂的僕人的溝通方式非常明確。"面對面"。難道你不喜歡參與那些沒有記錄在經文中的對話嗎？你能想像在上帝與摩西面對面的時候，祂一定會分享一些秘密嗎？

神會向你揭示關於你的生活的秘密事情。

我不知道你怎麼想，但我不想只看到夢和異象。我希望與神建立一種關係，正如 "在花園裡"（C. Austin Miles）這首歌所說的那樣。

祂與我同行，祂與我共話
祂告訴我，我單屬於祂......

我相信主希望揭示每個尋求者內心深處隱藏的寶藏。但是，你必須首先證明你是一個有價值的尋求者。我相信這段經文中的話。"你們尋求我，若專心尋求我，就必尋見。"（耶利米書29:13）。主會被"那些切切尋求祂的人"找到並得到賞賜（希伯來書11:6）。

一名泛泛之交不能偶然找到祂；偶爾尋求祂的人找不到祂。相反地，當人們日復一日地與祂建立個人關係時，就能找到祂；無論在什麼時候，都能找到祂。如果你的心願意追求神的一切，你就是那個能找到神的人。

準備好接受深刻的啟示

申命記29:29說："隱秘的事屬於耶和華我們的神，顯明的事卻屬於我們和我們的子孫，直到永遠，好叫我們遵行這律法上的一切話。" 我相信，你正準備經歷一次深刻的揭示。主今天想讓你知道，祂正在為你改變和轉移事情。祂在詩篇91:1中提醒我們這一點，祂說："住在至高者隱密處的，必住在全能者的蔭下。

你想知道居住的秘密嗎？留在隱密處吧！那是沒有祕密的地方，聖靈會來，以強而有力的方式向你揭示耶穌。

你和你的家人的未來是什麼？明天或後天會發生什麼？上帝知道所有這些秘密，祂想告訴你。我喜歡祂的話，聖經，總是有答案，當你與祂交流時，主會向你揭示每個答案和秘密。正如阿摩司書3:7所說："主耶和華若不將奧祕指示他的僕人─眾先知，就一無所行。"

主會告訴你祂的秘密，而你所向祂的傾訴的所有秘密在祂那裡都是安全的！哈利路亞！

你是否願意全心尋求主，求祂向你透露祂的秘密？

Ask God to Reveal His Secrets
Judy Jacobs
May 29, 2022

Would you like God to reveal His secrets to you? Do you want to know what "the secret of the Lord" is? God is both a revealer of secrets AND a keeper of secrets. He'll reveal the good ones, and He'll keep the bad ones. But what exactly are those secrets?

Secrets are things that sound mysterious and are often kept hidden, or kept from our view; things which can be unknown to others, or confidential.

When I was younger, my mom could just use the words "I've got a secret to tell you," and she would have our complete and undivided attention. Secrets are, and always have been, so appealing and attractive—especially to little ones!

The Revelation-Secrets of His Promises

Sometimes we think God has secrets; we think that maybe God is keeping something from us. Especially when it comes to praying and asking God about certain things that we are believing Him for. We might think, Surely there are secrets that He is just not telling us! But I would like to remind you of what the Word of the Lord says in Psalm 25:14: "The secret of the Lord is with th that fear Him; and He will shew them His covenant."

I love how The Passion Translation puts it: "There's a private place reserved for the devoted lovers of Yahweh, where they sit near Him and receive the revelation-secrets of His promises ('promises' being the secrets of His covenant)" (emphasis added).

The fear of the Lord is a real key when it comes to revelation-secrets. God is always wanting to reveal Himself to His children—the children who fear and revere Him, and who long to be in His presence.

I love the times when my family and I are relaxing together (such as when we are on vacation), and we find ourselves just sitting around and sharing with each other. Suddenly, the questions begin to erupt. Our girls want to know things like, what was it like when we were their ages? What was it that drove us to do what we do (especially when it comes to talking about music and ministry)? What are the secrets anyway? What do we do when it comes to building relationships with staff? How do we segue from one thing to another in a worship service?

The questions go on and on. What they are really looking for are some "trade secrets," especially when it comes to my daughter, Erica, asking her dad about drumming. (She loves to play the drums.) (Photo via Pixabay)

The Secret Things Belong to God

If there is one thing I know about my God, it's that I have found Him to be a faithful Father.

He is always there to lead, guide, instruct, and direct me with the amazing help of the precious Holy Spirit. He is always there to whisper in our ears the deep secrets of our lives that only He knows.

Daniel 2:21-22 says: "And He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding. He reveals deep and secret things; He knows what is in the darkness, and light dwells with Him."

The secrets of the Lord belong to our God, and the things revealed belong to us, His people (Deuteronomy 29:29).

God Wants to Reveal His Secrets to Us

I love it that He says He is a revealer of the deep and secret things. In our lives, many times we will find ourselves in a deep place. We may feel like we are so low that we can't even see or touch the bottom. But it's so encouraging to me what David said: "Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend into Heaven, You are there; if I make my bed in Hell, behold, You are there" (Psalm 139:7-8).

It doesn't matter where you go or who you're with; you can't get away from the presence of God in your life. He knows the secrets you know and the secrets you don't. So, we may as well go ahead and do as David says to do: "Trust in Him at all times, you people; pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah" (Psalm 62:8). God wants to know all the secrets of your heart so that He can reveal His secrets to you.

The Bible says, "For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to give strong support to those whose heart is blameless toward Him…" (2 Chronicles 16:9). He is waiting to reveal His secrets to all of us, so that we can know Him in all of His fullness.

Those Who Diligently Seek Him

I remember reading in Numbers 12 when Aaron and Miriam rebelled against Moses. All of a sudden, God appeared: "Then the Lord came down in a pillar of cloud; He stood at the entrance to the tent and summoned Aaron and Miriam. When the two of stepped forward, He said, 'Listen to My words:

"'When there is a prophet among you, I, the Lord, reveal myself to them in visions, I speak to them in dreams. But this is not true of My servant Moses; he is faithful in all My house. With him I speak face to face, clearly and not in riddles; he sees the form of the Lord...'" (Numbers 12:5-8)

The scripture goes on to reveal how God punished them for disrespecting Moses in front of all the people. God was very specific about how He communicated with Moses, His servant: "face to face." Wouldn't you just love to be in on some of those conversations that are not recorded in the Scriptures? Can you imagine some of the secrets that God must have shared during His face-to-face times with Moses?

God will reveal the secret things to you about your life. (Photo via Pixabay)

I don't know about you, but I don't want to only see dreams and visions. I want a relationship with God where, as the song "In The Garden" (by C. Austin Miles) says:

And He walks with me, and He talks with me
And He tells me I am His own...
I believe the Lord wants to reveal the deep and hidden treasures inside of every seeker. But, you must prove that you are a worthy seeker first. I believe the words of this scripture: "You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart" (Jeremiah 29:13). The Lord will be found by and reward "those who diligently seek Him" (Hebrews 11:6).

He is not found by a casual acquaintance. He is not found for someone who only occasionally seeks Him. Instead, people find Him when they have a personal relationship with Him day in and day out; in season and out of season. You are the person who will find God, IF your heart will go after all the things of God.

Get Ready for a Deep Revealing

Deuteronomy 29:29 declares: "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 follow all the words of this law." I believe that you are getting ready to experience a deep revealing. The Lord wants you to know today that He is changing and shifting things on your behalf. He reminds us of this in Psalm 91:1, when He says, "He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty."

Do you want to know the secret to abiding? Stay in the secret place! That is where there are no hidden secrets, and the Holy Spirit will come and reveal Jesus to you in such a strong and powerful way.

What does the future hold for you and your family? What will happen tomorrow or the next day? God knows all of these secrets, and He wants to tell them to you. I love that His Word, the Bible, always has the answer, and the Lord will reveal each answer and secret to you as you commune with Him. As it says in Amos 3:7, "Surely the Lord GOD does nothing, unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets."

The Lord will tell you His secrets, and all the secrets you tell Him are safe with Him! Hallelujah!

Will you seek the Lord with all your heart and ask Him to reveal His secrets to you?
