Matthew 22.23-46-...nor did anyone dare from that day on to ask Him another question.
Numbers 22.1-40- The donkey said to Balaam, "Am I not your donkey on which you have ridden all your life to this day?"
Song of Solomon 2.8-3.5-Have you seen him whom my soul loves?
Exodus 40.1-15-You shall put the holy garments on Aaron and anoint him and consecrate him, that he may minister as a priest to Me.

I have a secret to tell you that you won't believe.

A picture of Steph. I'm not sure what this one is all about. She appears to have just heard a secret.

The religious authorities of Jesus' day were always trying to trick Him with questions. Trying to trick Him and trip Him up. But they couldn't. Finally they gave up. They couldn't figure out the secret Jesus must have in always being able to give an answer that avoided accusation.

The donkey had a secret that Balaam couldn't figure out. There was an angel around that the donkey could see but Balaam couldn't. Finally when the donkey spoke to Balaam, Balaam was able to see the angel. I suppose after that Balaam had a secret that he may have wanted to keep. He heard a donkey talk and was scolded by a donkey.

We have a secret that we need to let out. We HAVE seen the one whom our soul loves. We have seen Jesus. Day after day I see Jesus present in this world. In things and people and places. In His Word daily we can see Jesus, the one who we love.

And the funny thing about this secret is, that in knowing this secret, Jesus clothed us as called ministers, to go out daily and work in His Kingdom. Day after day, Jesus sends us, walks with us and leads us to minister to those we meet. To minister in action with the skills He has given us. To work in His Kingdom. It's such a joy to wear these garments and serve Him! Jesus, no longer a secret, but a gift from heaven. Tell the world this secret!

Lord, thank You for clothing me---thank You for sending me---thank You for revealing Yourself to me---thank You! ---Amen
Lord, thank You for clothing me---thank You for sending me---thank You for revealing Yourself to me---thank You! ---Amen
