SCRIPTURE: Psalm (NIV) 25:14 The LORD confides in those who fear him; he makes his covenant known to them.
OBSERVATION: Creation is full of evidence that points to God. That He exists is obvious. Yet the only hope man has of knowing God is if God chooses to make Himself known. This He has done through the scriptures and through God the Son coming to live among us and die for us. In this verse, God reveals that He opens up His heart to those who believe He exists and that He is worthy of high respect.
APPLICATION: My attitude toward God is super important. Believing that He is the Almighty, ever-existing, all powerful One, causes me to put great value on His word. What He says is of great importance to me. As long as I have that attitude I can expect Him to confide in me.
Yesterday I had to acknowledge that God had not told me that bus driving was “coming to an end,” but that this season of bus driving was “over!” Today I had to go to the bus office and tell them that the One who had told me to drive a school bus 15 years ago, had told me that this season of my life is over. I cannot hold on until the end of the year; it is over.
If I want the Lord to “confide in me,” I must “fear” Him. I must have a healthy respect for the Lord and what He says. I cannot take His word as a mere suggestion. When He knows I will respect and obey His word, He will continue to speak to me.
If I am to continue to write SOAPs, I must have faith that God speaks to me and through me.
PRAYER: Lord, You are the supreme being of all creation. Your words are my great treasure. That you speak to me is my great honor. Amen
