How does God handle secrets?
God retains the right and ability to keep things secret, and those secret things belong to Him. He keeps matters hidden until He chooses to reveal them; once revealed, they are no longer secret. What He reveals belongs to His people and their children.
Les explains from Deuteronomy 29:29 that the secret things belong unto the LORD our God, while the things revealed belong to us and to our children. He points out that when a secret is revealed, it is no longer a secret because everyone now knows it. Until God reveals something, it remains secret. Les also connects this to a name of deity from Genesis, which implies God is not only sovereign but has the right and the ability to keep things secret. So God handles secrets by keeping them hidden until He reveals them.
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.
