Deuteronomy 29:29 says, "The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law."
This is so beautiful! There are things that God doesn't reveal to us. Many things of course we just don't need to know, but I think there are things that if we knew would destroy us either by grief too great to bear, things totally incomprehensible to our finite minds, burst our hearts with uncontainable joy or anticipation or any number of reasons. In His great wisdom God protects us and shows us what we need to know and when.
But what God does show us becomes ours and our children's. Forever. Like a treasure to pass on through the ages. We take God's truth for granted too often. It is a treasure for believers. Unbelievers can't comprehend much of the truth or the value of the truth.
Are we to hoard our treasures of truth and God's commands to live the abundant life? How abundant is hoarding? I think that we all know that sharing God and His love is the joy of the abundance. When we realize all we are and all we have in Christ Jesus, our hearts naturally overflow. From that abundance we share. As the song said, we live out loud the love and truth God so lovingly and generously bestows on us. Yes, God reveals what enriches us so that we may do according to what He has given to us and our families. Enjoy the doing!
