TEXT: PSALM 25:12-22
TOPIC: TRUST IS A TWO-WAY TRAFFIC.

At the beginning of this Psalm, David tells us that “In You, Lord my God, I put my trust. I trust in You….”. And now in verse 14, he tells us that “the Lord confides in those who fear Him; He makes His covenant known to them”. The idea that God can confide in those who fear Him and even make His covenant known to them sounds unbelievably too good to be true.

To confide in someone is to tell them a secret or something personal. It is really comforting to know that God has chosen to confide in a mere mortal man who is very inconsequential compared to Him.

Before we prematurely celebrate this fact, we need to understand that it’s not everyone that God confides in. The Bible tells us that, “the Lord confides exclusively in those who fear Him”. Meaning, if you don’t fear God or disregard His covenant, He cannot confide in you.

Examples of people whomsoever God confides in include Abraham: “Then the Lord said, shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do?” (Gen. 18:17-19). Jesus also had an inner circle of three, Peter, James and John, in whom He confided. He took them on special outings (Matt. 17:1). He allowed them to witness His greatest glory (Mark 9:2-3) and His deepest temptations (Mark 14:33-34). He also prayed with His confidence (Luke 9:28ff).

QUESTION
Are you part of God’s inner circle, qualified to be trusted?

PRAYER
Dear Lord, help me to be qualified as one of Your confidantes, in Jesus’ name. Amen!
