Why God doesn't tell us everything:

“The Lord our God has secrets known to no one. We are not accountable for them, but we and our children are accountable forever for all that he has revealed to us, so that we may obey all the terms of these instructions." Deuteronomy 29:29

I am sure we have all thought at one time WHY God has not informed us of all the details that lie before us...... I have realized that we couldn't handle it!!! The scripture in Deuteronomy reminds us that their are secrets only known by God but following that we are told that we are accountable for ALL that HE has revealed to us. God gave us a manual, the BIBLE, to equip us with every circumstance of life.
Jesus walked this earth and experienced all the hardships, hurts, joys, etc that this earth brings..... But He did it ALL without sin or fault. He knows the hurts we endure & the bible comforts us with this "...Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28

Even though God hasn't let us "in the know" of all the trials, joys, stumbles, & praises that we will face in the future.... He has given us the greatest gift to look forward to....that at the end of our time here on earth He has prepared a place for those who know & love Him and it is for ALL of eternity. What a glorious truth!!! I praise God for giving us the HOPE of forever with Him & praise Him for his word to get us through all the unknowns.

“My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me."
2 Corinthians 12:9
