God Who Reveals Mysteries 11-2-06

Good morning, Lord Jesus. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit -- You are One and You are Holy. You are my Healer and Deliverer, my Savior and Lord, my God and King. … "There is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries" (Daniel 2:28). Lord, You hold all time in Your hands. You see the end from the beginning. You see every choice we will ever make and every consequence thereof. And You see the choices and consequences of others that affect our lives and all creation throughout all generations. You see the wounds and sins of our past, the bondage and struggles of our present, and the certain hope and eternal redemption of our future, as we learn to entrust every area of lives to You in humble surrender and trusting faith. To You, all hearts are open and all thoughts are known. No mystery is a mystery to You. Nothing remains hidden beyond Your sight; nothing remains in darkness beyond Your light. I was moved last night by the testimony of a friend who received the ministry of Your healing love into the hidden places of her soul. There were areas of hurt hidden deeply in her heart that she couldn't see. They were a mystery to her and to me, but You are the God who reveals mysteries, who brings all things out of the darkness, into Your light, and under Your blood, in the power of Your love (2 Corinthians 4:6; Colossians 1:11-14). She experienced Your ministry of inner healing -- healing from the inside out as we welcome the light of Your truth and the glory of Your presence in the wounded and bound places of our soul to receive the love and grace of God into every area of our lives. With my friend and her family, I give You all glory and honor and praise for Your Father heart and Your healing hand. And with such joy she shared with me how You explained to her this experience of healing with You by the confirmation of Your Word from the prayer of Daniel: "Blessed be the name of God from age to age, for wisdom and power are His. He changes times and seasons, deposes kings and sets up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding. He reveals deep and hidden things; He knows what is in the darkness, and light dwells with Him. To You, O God of my ancestors, I give thanks and praise, for You have given me wisdom and power, and you have now revealed to me what we asked of You, for You have revealed to us what the king ordered" (Daniel 2:20-23). Thank You, Lord, for loving us so much that You leave nothing hidden from the light of Your truth and the glory of Your presence in the depths of our soul. In Your time and in Your way, as You give us grace to yield to Your will and entrust ourselves to Your care, You heal us and free us to truly love You and receive Your love -- with all our heart, all our soul, all our mind, and all our strength. Then we are free to love others as ourselves and love ourselves as You have called us to by Your grace. Then the hidden places of our hearts no longer condemn us and we are restored to intimacy of relationship with You (1 John 3:18-24). You are the God who reveals the mysteries of our souls; and You are the God who heals us and makes us whole in the power of Your love (Exodus 15:26; Isaiah 53:4-5; Luke 4:16-21). I praise Your holy name; and I worship You, Lord -- my healing God -- in spirit and in truth. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen. Be encouraged today!
