“God and Friends” 

 Psalm 25:14

Friendship with the LORD is reserved for those

who fear Him. With them He shares the secrets

of His covenant.  (NLT)

     Much like it is with good friends who walk together sharing their secrets, so it is with Christ Jesus and those who call Him Lord.   Because our Lord God and Savior sacrificed His life on the cross we can now be in the Holy Presence of God, sharing our deepest secrets and learning His.  When you humbly go to the foot of the cross and fully accept the gift of forgiveness and salvation, the Holy Spirit begins to reveal the secrets of God concerning life and death and everything in between.  In the old covenant between God and His people Israel, the dwelling place of God was in a tent and was called the Most Holy Place, which was hidden from His people by a sacred curtain.  Only the high priest, and only once a year, was he allowed to enter through the sacred curtain with the sacrificial blood of animals as an offering for all the sins of Israel. But now we are under the new covenant of grace that was fully paid for with the blood of Jesus.   The moment our Savior gave up His Spirit in death, the sacred curtain that separated sinful man from the Most Holy God was ripped in two, making it possible for all men and women to personally be in the Presence of God no matter where they are.     

     And with this new covenant comes a new friendship with God, for He shares His Spirit, giving us the power to understand His secrets as we read and study the Book of God’s Story from Creation to Revelation.  When you have true fellowship with the Author of Life, my friends, He listens closely to the secrets that trouble your soul and offers you comfort and peace while sharing His secrets of salvation and redemption.  Never take for granted the sacrifice God made to save your eternal life from Hell, and don’t ever pass up the chance to be called His friend, because without His friendship, this dark world will hunt you down and draw you into its darkness until there is no way out!

                                        A Whisper of Hope

I invite you, My child…to come into My Presence where we can share our secrets.  For it is through our relationship that you find the truth about life and death.  To be a friend of God you must fear and respect My sovereignty and never doubt My faithfulness, for I Am called Faithful and True.  To be a friend of the King is a glorious blessing; one that will last forever.

John 15:15

“No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does

not know what his master is doing; but I have called

you friends, for all things that I have heard from My

Father I have made known to you.  (NKJ)

                           

             But there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets.

                                      (Daniel 2:28)
