Do Not Pick The Lock To Which He Has Allowed No Key!

Deuteronomy 29:29  The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.

Do not be anxious to understand the secrets of God.  

Do not 'pick the lock' to which He has allowed no key!  

He who will be scanning every cloud...may be smitten with a thunderbolt...

And he who will labor to pry into God's secrets...may be overwhelmed with His judgments!

Adam would presumptuously increase his knowledge; therefore Adam dreadfully lost his goodness!

The Bethshemites would pry into the ark of God; therefore the hand of God slew more than fifty thousand of them!

For my part, I will carefully be improved by things revealed, and not presumptuously inquire into, or after, what He has concealed.

An Angel Of Light - Satan

Satan is never more a devil, than when he looks most like an angel.

But let him look and talk as he will...he is Satan still;

And those who are experienced and watchful may discern his cloven foot hanging below his fine garment of light.

Let us beware of him, for many wise have been deceived, and many strong have been cast down by him.

Let us continually apply to Him who is able to keep us from falling, and to present us spotless in the end.
