Psalm 25:14
In times of despair we must learn to hold to God’s unchanging hand, knowing that through our fear (reverence, honor and admiration) of Him we will be kept and brought through whatever trial or hardship we face… The “secret” of this life lies in our relationship with the Most High God… It was the fear of the Lord which led Jesus to the cross and the defeat of sin and death… It was the fear of the Lord that allowed Peter to stand up and preach a word that saved 3,000 souls; it was the fear of the Lord that allowed David to pick up 5 smooth stones and defeat Goliath… When you are going through in this life, rely on the secret of God’s power… The enemy doesn’t know how to contend to fight against God so He tries to get you to denounce His authority over your life… The secret that Satan doesn’t want you to know is that he is powerless; the secret that the enemy doesn’t want you to know is that Christ has already freed you from the penalty of sin and bondage…
You were made in perfection and clothed in the very image of God, when you call on the name of the Lord there is power and grace imparted to you that breaks strongholds, heals and redirects… The secret to living is found in your reverence of the Lord… This why the Psalmist says that when you fear, when you obtain this secret that“he will show them his covenant…” God will write the vision and make it plain for your life; He will give you the desires of your heart and wipe your slate clean… In order to understand the desires of God for your life, you must align yourself with His will… David’s psalm tells us today that the secret of the Lord is with them that fear Him… Often times we associate fear to be a (n) intimidating or compromising authority in one’s life; however, fear in this since is a genuine respect and reverence for God… David is saying that if we truly desire to understand the precious promises and secrets of our Father, than we first must devote our lives to living according to His good pleasure… Too often we talk boldly about seeking God’s will in the situations that we face, but soon after we rely upon our own abilities to solve problems…
Too often we claim to trust the Lord, but once we are only we begin to calculate our plan of attack. David encountered many perilous times in His life and in this Psalm he demonstrates his respect for the Lord and prays that God will take charge of his life. David has realized that these struggles that he has faced can only be overcome by the power and might of God. David confesses his sins to the Lord and speaks to God about all aspects of his life… Let us learn from the Psalmist today, demonstrate your reverence for the Lord, confess your sins and entrust your well-being into His hands… The secret to obtaining all you can in life is to give up all your possessions on this earth!!! This passage today explains where happiness resides; it informs us of how we can obtain a level of comfort beyond what is in our bank account or on our backs! The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him; the things you search for, the things you are trying to find reside within you if you are walking the will of God. A true Christian is happy in knowing that this life is leading to a better home, a house not made by man’s hands… The secret of the Lord is that He wants you to be faithful, the secret is that He wants you to trust and believe in Him, the secret of the Lord is that He will never see the righteous forsaken (His son) nor His seed begging bread (us).
If you fear the Lord, which means to revere Him, honor Him, and adore Him; He will open the windows of heaven unto you and pour out blessings upon you that you will not have room enough to receive. This passage says that the Lord will show his covenant, a covenant is a promise or agreement… The bible is filled with covenants and the covenant that we focus on today is that God said those who believe will be saved, the covenant we focus on today is that God promised to send a comforter and that Jesus will come back upon the clouds and we will be caught up in the air to meet Him… The covenant is that He has promised to save you; the covenant is that He has promised to deliver you, promised to guide your life to eternal bliss, but we must accept that, we must acknowledge that, we must remove self and allow God to fill the emptiness inside. The secret is with them that fear Him, if you walk with Him; the secret to life resides within you, so search yourself and know that if you are a child of God happiness lies within!
ALL FOR HIS GLORY!
