John 16:12

John 16:12. I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.

Here again observe the reticence of the Saviour for his disciples’ good, still graciously keeping from them what they could not bear to hear; and are not you, beloved, thankful that you do not, at this moment, know what is to happen to you in the future? It is wise for each one of us to say, -

"My God, I would not wish to read

My fate with curious eyes; -

What gloomy lines are writ for me,

Or what bright scenes arise."

It is best for you, at present, to know but little. Prize what you do know, and be content to leave all that is not yet revealed, for "the secret things belong unto the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever."
