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?

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?
