PROMISE #166 - JUNE 15
Promise #166:
I reveal My secrets to those who fear Me.
Psalm 25:14 (WEB)
The friendship of Yahweh is with those who fear him.
He will show them his covenant.
King David is the author of this psalm. Today's promise explores how God reveals His secrets to those who fear Him. I love how the NIV translates this verse... The Lord confides in those who fear him;
he makes his covenant known to them. It is important to understand that the word 'fear' is not meant to imply that we are afraid of God; rather, it suggests that we revere Him and deeply respect His awesome power.
This promise evokes an intimate image for me. I picture a father taking time from his busy day to wrap his arm around one of his little ones to share a secret. After ensuring that no one else is nearby to overhear their conversation, he whispers something so softly that no one else can join their talk.
Isn't it amazing to think that our God and Father wants to share His secrets with us? Doesn't it blow your mind to realize that we are friends of God? I am convinced that the Lord is always looking for those with whom He can share His heart.
When I reflect on this promise and God's desire to share His secrets with ME, I am humbled by the thought. My prayer is that we can quiet ourselves from all the distractions and noise of the day so that we might hear the gentle whispers of our Father's voice as He confides in us.

Responsive Prayer:
Father, thank you for always being willing to confide in those you love, including me! I pray that I can quiet my heart from all the distractions around me today so I can hear the gentle whisper of your voice as you share your heart with me.
In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
I reveal My secrets to those who fear Me.
