The Secret Unveiled
Someone once said, “ There are two kinds of secrets; one is not worth keeping, and the other is too good to keep.” I am happy and willing to share you the good one.
You probably heard about that popular book circulating around titled, “The Secret.” One time, out of curiosity, I scanned the book at Barnes and Nobles. It claimed a philosophical view that “you are what you think you are.” Although it may sound alluring with all its positive affirmations, I didn’t have the intention of buying it. Why? A still small voice brought me back to the Truth.
“See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy which depends on human tradition and basic principles of this world rather than of Christ.” Colossians 2:8
I confess that I used to like reading those self-help and motivational books. My library is full of them. But nothing can compare to the Bible. In fact, I think those inspirational books just took my time away from digging into the nuggets of wisdom from The Word of God.
Meditating from The Book of Proverbs today, God showed me the real Secret that I am so excited to share with you. It will only take few minutes of your time to just stop and read between the lines. Reading the whole Chapter of Proverbs 3 is like finding a secret treasure that I can not keep for my self. You probably have read it many times before (I did in the past ) but I just found new and fresh meaning from it today. It’s like finding a precious gem and just realized its luster after I prayed to God to speak in my heart today.
If you read my testimony titled, “Have You Called JC Yet?” I attested to the truth from Proverbs 3:7-8 , “Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones.” I experienced how the power of acknowledging my weaknesses and relying on the power and strength of God transformed many areas of my life, including my health.
I also have struggled with insomnia for quite sometime. Lately, I’ve been sleeping much better. God promised in Proverbs 3:24 , “When you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down your sleep will be sweet.” I slept so good last night. I remember that I meditated from my church’s devotionals and read my Bible. I also praised God for my wonderful family, and counted all the blessings He had given me. That was much better than counting sheep because come to think about it, God has given me so much, I just took them all for granted before.
Now here’s another secret unveiled to me today – a promise that has an eternal truth, a treasure more precious than gold.
“Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will find favor and a good name in the sight of God and man.” Proverbs 3:3-4
Wow! Can you imagine? If you want long life, honor, riches , good name, good health, just cling to The Word!
One of my favorite hymns is titled, “It Is No Secret.” Yes, it is no secret what God can do. His promises are always true!
Dear Lord Jesus,
Thank You for your amazing revelation today. I believe that Your promises are true and lasting. May we live each day secured in knowing You are in control of our lives. Help us to be humble enough to admit that we are nothing without you. May we be obedient to Your commands. Speak to each one who will come across Your Word today. In Your Name we trust, Amen.
