“This is what the Lord says to His anointed, to Cyrus, Whose right hand I have held To subdue nations before him, And I will ungird the loins of kings; To open doors before him so that gates will not be shut: “I will go before you and level the mountains; I will shatter the doors of bronze and cut through the bars of iron. “And I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places, So that you may know that it is I, The Lord” Isaiah 45: 1-3
Hidden treasures in secret places
Secrets are kept in places that are hard to find. These places are meant for no one to see. So it’s normal for people to lock their treasures behind sealed doors. They place them in vaults and hidden chambers. In order to find these secret places you have to 1.Know that they exist 2. Know where they are 3. Know their content 4. Know how to get them.
These secret places are where one keeps valuables and riches. It is called secret because it is intended only for the person that hid the treasures to find them. No other person is meant to find it because it contains collected riches. Many stories we have read about people searching for hidden treasures all through history and they spend all their life to do so. But most of these searches end up in vain as riches go unrevealed in their secretive places.
In these versus the Lord reveals to us a very important truth. He tells us that in real spiritual life there exists something called secret places. Not only that but he also says that these places contain treasures and hidden riches. The “wealth of secret places” is hidden in locations ALL AROUND US AND GOD WANTS TO GIVE US ALL THESE TREASURES.
I encourage you to pray for this year “Lord, open my eyes to see things I cannot usually see so I can claim things that would otherwise be unclaimed.”
Who hid them? To whom they belong? How can I possess them?
