Have you had your security briefing?

Ephesians 1:9-10
He made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times will have reached their fulfillment - to bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one head, even Christ.

Do you sometimes feel that God's will is a mystery to you? I would venture to say that many people in this world feel that way or are even completely oblivious to it. But this verse tells us the mystery is solved.

From our perspective its probably more accurate to say that the mystery is unfolding and in the day of Christ we will have the ultimate "a ha" moment.

In a much lesser extent I like to think of it as the experience President-elect Obama must be having today as he gets briefed by the CIA. Imagine what is running through his mind given all the foreign policy suggestions he gave not knowing all the country's foreign policy secrets.

Its real easy for anyone to speculate without knowing all the details. But God has given us his word which unveils the truths that clearly reveal his will.

Much like a new president when he given the keys to the country's secrets, when we open God's word, we have the knowledge we need to do the job He has intended us to do.

Its up to us to be briefed. To go into the secrecy of our closets and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal the mysteries of God's perfect will and plan through his word.
