Life would be so much easier if we knew ahead of time what was going to happen and why it was necessary. At least that is what we tell ourselves. But have you ever said to someone, “If I had known this was going to happen, I don’t think I could have survived?”
God keeps secrets for a reason. There is a perfect time for us to know something and he will not reveal it to us a moment sooner than is healthy for us.
He kept the mystery of the full understanding of Jesus’ suffering and resurrection from the men who prophesied his coming. Their word was not for their benefit but for ours. Even the angels were fascinated and were anxious to see what God was doing on the earth.
Though we often live a mysterious life, we are an intricate part of what God is accomplishing (1 Peter 1:10-12).
