「耶和華親密的指教敬畏祂的人；祂必使他們得知祂的約。」－詩篇25:14
神在他們身上的帶領，外頭看來，常是漆黑晦暗；只有信心能見到環境包藏的深處，且說：「這是神的秘密。你們只見到了外表，但我卻看見了隱藏在其中的意義。」
有時為了隱藏價值，鑽石被套上了粗劣的包裝；就如曠野中的會幕，外表覆罩著一層粗糙不顯眼的海狗皮，但裡面盡是奇珍異寶。
親愛的，神若將寶貴的事物送給你，祂未必會用華麗的包裝；但你能夠確信，裡面所藏的，必是愛、恩慈和智慧。
若我們能單純的領受，相信它的寶貴，就算身處黑暗，也能看清神的秘密。－宣信
"The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him" (Ps. 25:14).There are secrets of Providence which God's dear children may learn. His dealings with them often seem, to the outward eye, dark and terrible. Faith looks deeper and says, "This is God's secret. You look only on the outside; I can look deeper and see the hidden meaning."
Sometimes diamonds are done up in rough packages, so that their value cannot be seen. When the Tabernacle was built in the wilderness there was nothing rich in its outside appearance. The costly things were all within, and its outward covering of rough badger skin gave no hint of the valuable things which it contained.
God may send you, dear friends, some costly packages. Do not worry if they are done up in rough wrappings. You may be sure there are treasures of love, and kindness, and wisdom hidden within. If we take what He sends, and trust Him for the goodness in it, even in the dark, we shall learn the meaning of the secrets of Providence.
