This is a Spotlight on the Scripture. “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. Deuteronomy 29:29

The LORD is infinite and transcendent. He is beyond our ability to understand. He exists outside and he is not subject to the limitations of this material universe. Whatever knowledge he chooses to keep from us is beyond our ability to obtain.

Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and of the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how unfathomable his ways! For who has known the mind of the Lord. (Romans 11:33-34). Whatever knowledge he chooses to keep from us is beyond our ability to obtain. God is bigger and smarter than us and always will be. We must simply accept this. “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,” says the LORD. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.” (Isa_55:8-9)

Nevertheless, he has revealed to us everything that we need to know, in order to understand and trust, and obey Him, and it is found in his’s Holy Word. Ken Boa, writes in Unraveling the Big Questions About God, this: Until a person recognizes that his own wisdom and intelligence are not enough, he is not ready to listen to God’s greater wisdom. Jesus alluded to this when He said to God, “You have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children” Luke 10:21).

What we need today is a generation of Christians who will have the guts to believe what God has revealed to us in his Word, and pass it on to our children. Because our children are leading to their own understanding.

Let me tell you a story of a boy growing up, and he used to love to watch the telephone man because he could climb up on the telephone pole. He watches him hustling up and down that pole. The boy got a chance to talk to a telephone man one day. He asked the man how he managed getting up and down that pole so easily. He explained that, first of all, his shoes had spikes. Secondly, he explained that, in climbing he made it a point to rest against his belt so that he could get a firm implant with his shoes. The telephone man admitted that as a young man, he really didn’t know how to do it, nor did he trust the belt. Instead of resting in the belt, he would slide down the pole. As a result, he got a small number of splinters. Saints many of us, because we refuse to trust God, and we keep getting splinters in our lives—things that keep sticking us that we can’t get over, things that keep jabbing us that we can’t get around. We will continue to get splinters until we learn to trust in God and to put all of our confidence in what he has revealed and what belongs to us in His Word. This is a Spotlight on the Scripture.
