When God speaks, it's always with a purpose

When God speaks, it's always with a purpose. Sometimes he wants to reveal himself and his glory, while other times he wants to deliver a message to his people. Here are 10 secret messages from the Bible that you may have missed.

1. God is always with you

This secret message from the Bible is found in Joshua 1:9. As Joshua was about to lead the Israelites into the Promised Land, God promised to be with him always. This promise is just as true for us today. When we feel alone or afraid, we can remember that God is always with us.

2. Be still and know that I am God

This message from God is found in Psalm 46:10. In a world that is constantly moving and filled with noise, it can be hard to find stillness. But God is calling us to slow down and to remember that he is in control. When we take the time to be still, we can hear his voice more clearly.

3. Do not be afraid

God speaks these words frequently throughout the Bible (see Isaiah 41:10, Matthew 10:28, and Luke 12:32). He knows that we tend to worry and be afraid, but he wants us to trust him instead. When we are afraid, we can remember that God is always with us and that he will never leave us or forsake us.

4. I will never leave you or forsake you

This secret message from God is found in Joshua 1:5 and Hebrews 13:5. It is a reminder to us that no matter what happens in life, God will always be with us. We can rely on him to never leave us alone.

5. I know the plans I have for you

God says this in Jeremiah 29:11. He knows what is best for us, even when we can't see it ourselves. Sometimes we have to go through difficult times in order to reach the plans that God has for us. But we can trust that his plans are always good and always for our benefit.

6. Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness

In Matthew 6:33, Jesus tells us that if we seek first God's kingdom, everything else will fall into place. This is because when we seek God's righteousness, everything else will follow. When we make God our priority, he will bless us in ways that we cannot even imagine.

7. Trust in the Lord with all your heart

Proverbs 3:5 tells us that we should trust in the Lord with all our heart. This doesn't mean that we won't have fears or doubts, but it does mean that we should trust God even when we don't understand what he is doing. We can trust that he knows what is best for us and that he will never lead us astray.

8. I am the Alpha and the Omega

This secret message from God is found in Revelation 22:13. It is a reminder to us that God is the beginning and the end. He is the one who knows all things and who has a plan for us. No matter what we are facing in life, we can trust that God is in control and that he will see us through to the end.

9. I am the vine; you are the branches

In John 15:5, Jesus tells us that he is the vine and we are the branches. This is a reminder to us that we need to abide in him in order to bear fruit. When we are connected to Jesus, we will be able to produce good fruit in our lives. But if we are not connected to him, we will be fruitless.

10. You are my witnesses

This secret message from God is found in Isaiah 43:10. It is a reminder to us that we are called to be witnesses for him. We are to tell others about what he has done in our lives and how he has changed us. We are also to tell others about his love for them.
