Psalm 25:14, “The secret of the LORD is with those who fear Him, and He will show them His covenant.” There are secrets in the realms of covenant. But you must fear God in order to see them. 

Why? 

If such pearls are given to those who don’t tremble before Him, they will trample (despise) them without even realizing it (Matthew 7:6) Imagine being shown a secret of Jesus’ heart, and then being accountable because you blew it off rather than stewarded it. -Bob Sorge

Leave it all in the hands that were wounded for you. -Elizabeth Elliot

Jesus' death is vindicated as the victorious sacrifice that has brought forgiveness of sins to humanity and defeat to demonic powers 1Peter 3:22 - Allen Hood

This is the New Testament picture of Jesus--the suffering servant, a man who lives as a lackey and dies in disgrace. He is spurned, avoided, treated as a leper, a born loser.

He is roughly handled, pushed around, taken out, killed and buried among evildoers. -Brennan Manning

If Paul needed 10 hours to say what was needful (Acts 20:11), why do we think 30 minutes a week is sufficient to disciple people? -Bob Sorge
