“The Secret of the Lord is for those who fear Him, And He will make them know His covenant.” Psalm 25:14 (NASB)
Our Lord in heaven knows those who show Him proper Respect. Our verse today says that He responds in a very special way to those who respect and revere Him. God has lots of secrets to reveal to His people but before He can confide in us we must have the proper attitude toward Him. The proper attitude is described as “those who fear him.” [This does not mean fear that one has of someone that threatens to harm them. This means 'awesome respect' for God's holiness and sovereignty over our lives.] That is not surprising because we are very careful to whom we tell our secrets. We don confide in just anybody who come along do we? The psalmists David knew how careful God was. God had shown Him many of His secrets and His plans for him and for His people. This is true today too. Let's give God the respect He deserves and He will show us His plans for us.
