"The
secret of the Lord is with them that fear him; and he will show them his
covenant” (Ps 25:14 KJV). The Hebrew word for secret in this context suggests
an intimate conversation between friends. Wow! To think that we can have that kind of
relationship with God. Of course, it says that we must fear and worship him in
order to have that kind of relationship.
This
is not the only place in the Bible that we read this either; In Proverbs 3:32 we
read that God's secret counsel is with the righteous. In Genesis 18:17 God
spoke of his intention to share with Abraham his plans for Sodom and Gomorrah
and in Genesis 6:13-14 God revealed to Noah that he would send the flood.
We
know that Jesus shared many secret mysteries with the apostle John (Rev 1:1)
because the whole book of Revelation is the result. In the New Testament in
John 15:15 Jesus said: "Henceforth I call you not servants; for the
servant knoweth not what his Lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all
things that I have heard from my Father I have made known unto you". God
is a person and he longs to communicate and share his closest thoughts with us;
we need to be open to that, to put aside time to allow that and create the
right environment for it. So, take God at his word today and enjoy intimate
conversation with the Lord.
