God revealth His secret to His prophets
Amos 3:7 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.
Deuteronomy 29:29 The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.
The second scripture passage for today (Deut. 29:29) unveiled a crucial aspect of God, "The secret things belong unto the Lord our God." This statement acknowledges that
There are aspects of God's will and purpose that remain hidden from human understanding. God's thoughts are higher than our thoughts, and His ways are higher than our ways (Isaiah 55:9). There are mysteries that we cannot comprehend, and certain things God chooses to keep within His own counsel.
But this does not mean God is distant or unapproachable. The same verse goes on to say, "but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law." Here, we see God's desire to reveal what is necessary for our lives, our faith, and our obedience. What God reveals is meant to guide us, to direct us in the paths of righteousness, and to ensure that we live according to His will.
In Amos 3:7, the prophet declares, "Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets." This verse shows the unique role of prophets as the recipients of God's secrets.
In biblical times, prophets were not just predictors of the future; they were the mouthpieces of God, entrusted with His divine messages. They had the responsibility to communicate God's will to His people, often calling them back to faithfulness, repentance, and obedience.
The phrase "His servants the prophets" emphasizes that the prophets were in a position of servanthood and obedience to God. They did not speak on their own authority but relayed the messages that God entrusted to them. This divine revelation was not given for the prophet's sake alone but for the sake of God's people, to prepare them, to warn them, and to guide them.
Why does God reveal His secrets to His prophets?
The answer lies in God's love and care for His people. God desires that His people are not left in the dark concerning His plans and purposes. The prophetic messages often contain calls to repentance, promises of deliverance, or warnings of impending judgment. Through these revelations, God seeks to guide His people back to the path of righteousness and to remind them of His covenant.
Moreover, divine revelation is given so that we may have faith and trust in God's plan, even when we do not fully understand it. The prophetic words often serve as a beacon of hope in times of trouble, reminding us that God is in control and that His purposes will ultimately prevail.
As recipients of God's revealed word, we have a responsibility. Deuteronomy 29:29 says that "those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law." God's revelation is for our obedience. We are called to respond to God's word with faith and action.
When God reveals His secrets to His prophets, it is not just for the sake of information, but for transformation. It is meant to change our hearts, to draw us closer to Him, and to lead us in the way everlasting. Therefore, we must heed the words of the prophets, study the scriptures diligently, and apply God's revealed truth to our lives.
In conclusion, the truth that "God revealeth His secrets to His prophets" is a testament to His grace and mercy. Though He is sovereign and holds the mysteries of the universe in His hands, He chooses to reveal what we need to know for our guidance and salvation, our response should always be obedience and thanksgiving
