It is impossible to know everything. Even if we could, would we want to? Would we want to know the secrets that friends and family members don’t tell us? Would we want to know the secrets that our elected officials don’t tell us? We may want to know the secrets that nature hides, but can we know them all? Should we want to hear the secrets that the internet discloses?
Even if we read every book ever written, we would still only know a fraction of the information available to us. If we read all the information available on the internet, besides being depressed, we would be incorrectly informed in a lot of areas.
Deuteronomy 29:29 says, “The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.” So even if we gather all the information that the world can give us, we still won’t have the things that God keeps secret. But we are held responsible for the things that He has revealed. God is God and knows all things. We are not omniscient, so we can’t know it all. We must do what He shows us to do.
