[The Glory Unveiled]
Then the LORD said, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do? ( Genesis 18:17 )
Surely the Sovereign LORD does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets ( Amos 3:7). Before God takes an action that may be consequential to the people on earth or the earth, He reveals it to His servants the prophets. His prophets [messengers] are like the ambassadors of his Kingdom. In Genesis 18, God had planned to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah. But God decided to tell Abraham about it because Abraham was a prophet of God and a friend. Eventually, God spared the family of Lot because of Abraham’s intercession. God will not hide His deeds from us but we must posses the traits of His prophets to compel God to reveal His plans to us. Abraham didn’t pray that God should reveal His next plan to him. God decided to tell him because of the intimacy and friendship. God is not partial to restrain this grace from us when we become intimate with Him as His prophets usually are. Intimacy is the passcode to receive the current affairs of heaven as readily released by the Holy Spirit. But whether God will hide what He is about doing from us or not, our closeness to Him by intimacy—constant fellowship (becoming like God) and knowing of God—will determine it._
Prayer_Bead: Father Almighty, Ruler and the Rule for all generations, thank you for this grace to know what you intend to do on earth before you actually execute it. Thank you.
