. . .You're not supposed to know things that God does not want you
to know, and God obviously does not want you to know everything.
This fact --- that there are some secrets that God does not want you
to know --- is one major reason why "without faith it is impossible to
please God."
You must exercise faith because the truth is you will, for certain, live
out your life in the dark regarding the answers to many of your
questions "for now we see through a glass darkly."
"Have faith in God." ___The Lord Jesus Mark 11:22
"It is not for you to know"__The Lord Jesus Acts 1:7
"The secret things belong to God." __ Deut. 29:29
You heard about that cat, his name was Garfield, that died from curiosity.
So just say no to feline-inquisitiveness -- not even nine lives could save
Garfield. Besides if you knew everything you'd be as smart as God. You
don't want to be as smart as God, do you.
"My cerebrum is twitching", said Henry, "and I crave to know it all."
"But", muttered Henry's wife, "nobody likes a Know-It-All."
So give it up.
Henry's cerebrum said to Henry's cerebellum, "We both are pulsating vigorously
in anticipation as we crave to come to know all secrets."
"Wait a minute", spoke up Henry, "didn't you just hear that the secret things belong
to God. What's the matter with you two.

"Why do you speak to the people in parables?", asked Jesus' disciples.
Jesus replied, "Because the knowledge of the secrets of the Kingdom Of
Heaven has been given to you, but not to them."
Why not to them? Because they were the type of people that were "ever
learning but never perceiving . . . for this people's heart has become
calloused." Matthew 13:14-15
So we, you and I, do not want to choose to be like those calloused
people -- rather we want to choose to "have faith in God" and wait
patiently until we get to Heaven to have our questions answered.
But right now there are many secrets afoot.
However here is some good news . . . .
Not everything is a secret. Everything you need to know to get Eternal Life
has been made crystal-highly-transparent-glass-clear. And when you
die and enter Heaven you can then get into learning some really cool new
stuff big time. Just think what you could do with an enhanced brain in a
new glorified body with a new cranium happily housing your new glorified
network of neurons sparking along 24/7/365. Why you'd soon be as wise
as Solomon.
Back to secrets . . .
"It is no secret what God can do. ♫ ♫
What He's done for others, He'll do for you.
With arms wide open, He'll welcome you.
It is no secret what God can do." ♫ ♫
And it is no secret that "God so loved the world that He gave His one and
only Son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have Eternal Life."
So?
So we never have to experience the perish of John 3:16 for the Lord Jesus stands
at the door knocking and whosoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
