Title: God's Special Secrets for You   Send to a Friend
Date: 04/01/2006    
 
Friends,

Welcome to another addition of Women of Wisdom's (W.O.W) e-letter! W.O.W's mission is to encourage you to live the divine purpose for your life! Expect to see a W.O.W. e-letter monthly and be sure to pass them on to your friends.

2nd Edition, Volume 2, Demi #24


“The Lord confides in those who fear him; he makes his covenant known to them.”  (Psalm 25:14 Amplified)


What an awesome thought!  God confiding in us!  As a woman, I love to share with my friends those secret confidences of my heart and I love to receive those confidences as well.  I always know that the people I choose to confide in are ones that can be trusted.  Likewise, those that confide in me believe that I too can be trusted.  So it delights my heart to know that God trusts us with the knowledge of His covenant and the intimacy of His friendship.


I received several insights from that short but inspiring scripture. First I learned that God confides.  Just as we share confidences with each other, God divinely shares confidences with us.  The secret things belong to the Lord but there are many things that He alone knows and yet wants us to know.  Second, the confidences that He shares are specially designed for those that seek Him and have a relationship with Him.  The scripture says “those who fear him” but it is not the fear that we often think of when something has frightened us.  Instead, it is the emotion of being ‘in awe’ of someone or overwhelmed by the sheer force of their presence and therefore being drawn to them to seek them out.  Third, the scripture clarifies that a covenant exists that is relevant to those He shares it with now.  So many times, we think of the covenant as only being relevant to patriarchs such as Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.  But God’s covenant (His binding agreement) is for our generation.  And the final insight I received was since it is God who ‘makes this covenant known’, the covenant is something He actively pursues telling us and wants us to have the benefit of.


Just thinking about that reminded me of how intriguing it is to know that your best friend has a secret that pertains to you.  I recall an incident during my college years when my best friend and roommate had a secret about a young man that I had a crush on.  While changing classes one day, she called out to me, “Girl, have I got something to tell you about him!”  Of course she had no time to tell me the secret as she rushed on to class, but the expression on her face told me that this boy might possibly like me too.  So I waited with great anticipation until we could huddle together later in our dorm room and share the secret that was just for me.


That sense of wonder and excitement that I experienced over a secret about a ‘silly ole boy’ is intensified to the 10th power when I think about the confidences God has in store for me.  What about you?  Are you wondering with anticipation about the confidences God wants to share with you?  Are you thinking of the covenant He wants to make known to you concerning your life?  Are you delighted to know that the One that created you actively pursues telling you everything you need to know to live a life of meaning and purpose?


Well if you’re like me, you’ve probably already poured yourself a cup of coffee or a cup of hot tea, grabbed your bible, pen and your journal, sat yourself down and said the words He is longing to hear – “speak Lord, I’m listening!”


Be Blessed!

Mary
