Psalm 25:14 (NIV)
How cool is that? The Lord confides in those who fear (honor, revere) Him. God has been whispering to my husband and I lately. Many of you know that my husband, Phil, had a heart attack last week. It was a very serious one, but it appears that he will fully recover from it. I’m not ready to blog a lot about the experience, but in today’s reading I read Psalm 25:14. And I want to express to all of you my incredible thankfulness to a wonderful God of mercy, grace and power, who confides in those who fear Him.
During and since the heart attack God has spoken to us – through other people, through His Word, through strong impressions in our heart, and through dreams. All have been consistent messages – Phil will be fine. Coupled with that was often a reminder of God’s promise of salvation – the covenant He has with us – that He will be with us always and that when this life is over, we will be with Him forever.
For today’s blog, let me just be one of those people who reminds you of the Covenant God has with you. If you have made Jesus the leader and Lord of your life, He promises that He will be with you through the most difficult times, that He will be there at the end of those times when you walk back into the sunlight of “normal” living, and that He will be with you when those times are ultimately over and your true life begins in heaven. In the midst of those difficult times you can experience peace. In the midst of those difficult times, and in between the difficult times of life, you can experience joy.
God will confide in you. What a wonderful promise. There’s another verse like it that often amazes me…
Surely the Sovereign LORD does nothing
without revealing his plan
to his servants the prophets.
Amos 3:7 (NIV)
God wants to speak to us. What a wonderful, personal God we serve! Stay close to Him and listen.
That’s wonderful about your husband!
Many blessings to you both!
Thank you! We are blessed.
Great thoughts Sandy! You both are still in my prayers. Let me know when you guys feel up to a lunch or something. I’d love to connect!
