The Secret of the Lord

Welcome to the Days of Praise podcast, a daily devotional by the Institute for Creation Research. The Secret of the Lord. The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him, and he will show them his covenant. Psalm twenty five fourteen. This is an amazing promise.

The word for secret means the inner council, evidently, of the triune God Himself. But how can those who fear the Lord really know the secret counsels of the Godhead? The answer can only be by divine revelation to God's prophets. Thus the prophet Amos affirms, Surely the Lord God will do nothing but unless He revealeth His secret unto His servants, the prophets. When these ancient promises were given, however, much of God's revelation, though already settled in heaven, was still not revealed to men.

Then Christ came and promised His disciples The Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, shall teach you all things. God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son. In addition to the twelve disciples, God then also called the Apostle Paul, and through these men the Son conveyed to those who fear Him all the rest of His revelation. by revelation he made known unto me the mystery and whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ, which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit. Finally, the secret of the Lord was completed in written form by John, the last of the apostles, with nothing else to be either added or deleted, that the mystery of God should be finished, as he had declared to his servants the prophets.

all we shall ever need to know of God's eternal counsels is now available in the Holy Scriptures to all who desire to know them.
