“The secret of the Lord is with them that fear Him” (Psalm 25:14).
This is a very good verse to remember along with yesterday’s verse. Yesterday we pointed out that the Lord wants us to commit our way to Him, and that He is willing to show us the right path in our life. However, today’s verse shows us that it is those who are walking with the Lord who will be able to hear the Lord’s voice and to know His mind for them. We cannot walk in a careless, sinful or worldly way, and then suddenly go to the Lord and ask Him for His guidance in some difficulty. We are used to getting answers to almost any question very quickly on the internet, but we cannot “google” the Lord. We must know Him as Savior first, and then have a happy relationship with Him in order to have His guidance in our life.
I remember a woman who told me that when she asked the Lord for guidance, He did not answer her. She was a true Christian, but she was very angry at the Lord because of the difficulties she was in, and almost blamed Him for them. Until she submitted to what the Lord had allowed in her life, she would not get any guidance. She needed to get back to the Lord, confess her sin of being angry, and then ask Him what to do. The Lord wants our company, and a happy state of soul and guidance from the Lord go together.
