"The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but those things which are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law."
Deuteronomy 29:29 (NKJV)
If you were going to take a trip somewhere, you would obviously start the trip from where you are at the beginning of the trip. If you were building a house, you would have to lay the foundation first before you can put on the roof. If you were going to buy something, you would first have to go to the store to be able to purchase what you wanted. With all of these things, you have to start where you are, doing what it is you can and know to do first, before you do anything else.
Sometimes people have dreams, and even dreams that God has given them, or they desire to do something that they see in the Word of God, but they do not know how to go from where they are to where they want to be. Deuteronomy 29:29 gives us help with this, as we are told that the secret things belong to God, but what has been revealed to us is what we need to do. The things we know are the things we need to focus on, and that is what we need to start doing right now. We always have to start with where we are, doing what we can do right now, to get to where we want to be.
It is very easy to get focused on long-term goals and what we would like to do in the future while never actually doing what we can right now. To achieve our long-term goals and get to our bright future with God, we need to do what we can do now. Sometimes people get so focused on what they want to do someday that they do not do what they can do today. The question is not so much what we want to do, but what is it that we know that we can do right now. This is how we can get to the bright future that God has for us.
