The Secret Things

26Jul24 

Shabbat Shalom from Kent, London. 

*The Secret Things* 

The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but those things which are revealed belong to us’ (Deuteronomy 29:29). 

When it comes to understanding things, we have our territory, God has His. And ours is limited to what He decides to reveal. At that point we must ‘Trust in the Lord with all our heart, and lean not on our own understanding’ (Proverbs 3:5).

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God’ (Romans 8:28). God may explain it to us, or He may not. But He’s ‘the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End’ (Revelation 22:13), which means, He has a plan and He’s working it out for our good and His Glory. 

So let's trust Him! 
Because the secret things belong to the Lord our God. Hallelujah 👏. 

Shalom🙏.
Peace be upon The State of Israel and Us. Have a good weekend. In His Grip...

It's the word used for a guard keeping watch at a post, or someone safeguarding a treasure. Love is defined by obedience, not sentiment. Jesus doesn't say "if you love me, feel devoted to me" — he ties love to concrete action. In John's Gospel, love is verifiable; it shows up in behaviour, not just emotion. The Greek verb for "keep" (tērēsete) is future tense and follows a conditional — love isn't presented as a prerequisite for a transaction ("obey...
