54 Deuteronomy 29:29 Mysteries

JMD Devotional 54 Deuteronomy 29:29 Mysteries

The secret things belong unto the Lord our God, but the things which are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all of the words of this Law.

The heart of man focuses not on his blessings, but upon what is withheld. We had all of Eden but one tree; and striving for what was not given has cost us so dearly. Mysteries and secrets fascinate the mind, but have we cherished and utilized the truth we've been given so far?

Dear God,

I hate to see myself as a person always grasping, trying to pry your hand open. Forgive my immaturity, my lust for more. You know best; may I trust You to give me what I need. Help me to be content, and to be faithful to fully utilize the truth I have to your kingdom's glory.
Amen
