God as a Revealer of Secrets
Homilist
Daniel 2:28
But there is a God in heaven that reveals secrets, and makes known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days…


Men have secrets, or what they consider secrets, for really there are no secrets in the universe, nor should there be such. Sin alone has secrets, virtue has none. With it, all is as open as the day. Looking at the Great One as the revealer of secrets, we observe:

I. HE MAKES NO OMISSIONS. When men reveal the secrets of others, from ignorance they omit something; but God knows the whole — the most hidden thought of the most obscure mind in the universe.

II. HE COMMITS NO MISTAKES. Men who reveal secrets, commit great errors; they either say too much or too little. Omniscience commits no blunders; the revelation will be severely faithful.

III. HE HAS NO UNKINDNESS. Men often tell the secrets of others maliciously, but not so with Him. God is constantly revealing the secrets of men now:

1. Through the dictates of human consciences.

2. Through the unguarded actions of human life.
