We read in Deuteronomy 29:29 that God has secrets He keeps to Himself. One of them is our future.

Moses was reminding the people of Israel about God’s promise to give them a permanent home in the Promised Land (29:13). But they were not to wonder about how their future would turn out. Instead, they were to concentrate on trusting God and living for Him one day at a time.

But there is more to the “secret things” that belong to God. He is God and we are not. So He doesn’t answer all the “whys” of His ways. He has revealed, though, how we can know Him personally today by trusting Jesus as our Saviour.

When we give Jesus our lives, we give Him our future too, trusting Him to lead us through all the ups and downs that may come. Though we may still have many questions, we can be sure that God’s secrets are always for our good (ROM. 8:28).
