Listen from:
“The secret of the Lord is with them that
fear Him; and He will show them His covenant.”
Psalm 25:1414The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him; and he will show them his covenant. (Psalm 25:14)
A child of God who is in the enjoyment and the happiness of communion with God doesn’t want to do anything that is going to jeopardize that enjoyment. He is afraid of doing anything that will deprive him of that happiness. That is the fear of God. What are some things the Lord promises to those who fear Him? If we are living in the fear of the Lord, that would mean we are near Him; and if we are near Him, then He promises to tell us His secrets and show us things in His Word.
There are many promises to those who fear the Lord, but let’s look at one more. “Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear Him, upon them that hope in His mercy” (Psalm 33:1818Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy; (Psalm 33:18)). Isn’t it wonderful to know God’s eye is upon us if we fear Him? Ponder that the God of the universe is watching over you in your daily activities with love and protection! What an encouragement! Why not sit down with your concordance today and look up all the promises of God for those who fear Him?
