The Lord is gracious in hiding the future from us. Most of us would love a sneek preview of the future. We say, "Lord, just give me a glance; let me know how it's going to turn out." Deut. 29:29 The secret things belong to the Lord God, but things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of the law. We're not meant to know all things and the longer we live the more we realize God is really good to keep the future from us. It's mercy that veils our eyes.
