Can God Confide in You?

12 Who, then, is the man that fears the LORD? He will instruct him in the way chosen for him. 13 He will spend his days in prosperity, and his descendants will inherit the land. 14 The LORD confides in those who fear him; he makes his covenant known to them. Psalm 25:12-14

David shows what happens as a result of a person who fears the Lord. The will of God will be revealed to the person who fears the Lord. Prosperity will fill this person's life and not only that but his family. Lastly God will confide in those who fear and will make known to them His covenant.

The last part of the scripture really spoke to me today. The word confide involves so much, here's what the dictionary say's Confide: To tell (something) in confidence 2. To give as a responsibility or put into another's care; entrust:To disclose private matters in confidence The person that God will involve, entrust and disclose private matters, His mysteries, His heartbeat are those who fear the Lord. There are somethings that I can only share with those I know I can trust. There are somethings that I know I can only share with those I know will understand because they know me. This is true of God and us. This reveals to me a deeper level of relationship that is open to us with God. The questions that ring in my head this morning are; Can God confide in you? Can He share with you all that He desires? Can you hear His heartbeat? Will you understand his mysteries when revealed. When we Fear the Lord we lose our right to be in control of our life but today's scripture shows we gain so much more.

Lord I lay my life at your feet this morning. I want to understand and live out the way that you have chosen for me. I want to see prosperity for my family, I want my children to inherit all that you have chosen for them but I have to see it first, I have to live it, it has to become part of me and only will it be passed down. Take me into this deeper walk with you Father. Amen
