Where is the man who fears the Lord? God will teach him how to choose the best.

He shall live within God’s circle of blessing, and his children shall inherit the earth.

Friendship with God is reserved for those who reverence him. With them alone, he shares the secrets of his promises. Psalm 25:12-14 TLB

Have you ever just sat and thought about the greatness of God? Look up at a star-filled night, He made and named them all. Examine a flower and realize that He created that too. Examine a baby and understand the intricacy that went into that life and what keeps it breathing, growing, and learning. All God.

To fear the Lord is translated, in awe or deep reverence. That verse says that God will teach you to make the best choices. I believe that’s why it’s important to think daily about the Lord and worship Him for how great and mighty He is.

That next promise is that we will live in God’s circle of blessing, and our children will inherit the earth. I don’t know about you, but that is HUGE! That’s like being in the inner circle of God, privilege, and favor every day, and when we teach them to our children, they inherit the earth.

And finally, friendship with God, reserved for those who reverence or revere Him. He’s no longer an afterthought, an ‘oops’, forgot You today, God. Oh well, You’re busy anyway. No, it’s waking to His presence each day, hearing His voice whisper all day long. It’s with those alone, He shares the secrets of His promises or covenant.

These are promises that I take with me every day. Promise of direction, favor, and revelation. I want to know God in every fiber of my being. I want Him to be more real than my surroundings. Bigger than any enemy, problem, or fear. For when I exalt Him, everything else seems very small indeed.

Father, there is absolutely nothing bigger than You. I know that You will take care of every problem I face, for You are greater than my problem. There is nothing too hard for You, nothing You’re not aware of. My job is to enlarge You and magnify Your name. When I do that, You will give me the direction I need, Your favor on me and my family daily, and I will know Your secrets. It’s in Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
