The Lord confides in those who fear him; he makes his covenant known to them. Psalm 25:14
To whom do you tell a secret? Someone who will tell everyone about it? Or someone you can trust to hold it in confidence?
Everyone needs a confidant. There are things of which I am ashamed that I want no one to hear, but I cannot keep them hidden; I need to tell someone. On the other hand, there are dreams that are so precious that I long to share them with a fellow dreamer. I cannot keep them hidden.
Do you have a confidant? Do you have a trustworthy friend? Are you a confidant for someone else? Are you trustworthy enough to protect the heart and reputation of another? I have a best friend in whom I confide my secrets. His love has carried me through many struggles. He has never abused a confidence. I am blessed with a best friend. He has made my life more fruitful.
But even so, we are human and imperfect. God is the only perfect friend, and interestingly, God confides in me. He believes in me enough to share His secrets. He makes Himself intimately known.
Lord, I am unworthy to be Your confidant. Too many times I have disregarded Your wonder. Too many times I have been untrustworthy. Too often I have taken Your secrets lightly. Yet You continue to pour Your Spirit into those who fear You. Through the blood of Your Son, I am made worthy - I am made trustworthy. Continue to teach me Your ways. Continue to tell me Your secrets. Help me to reach out to Your children. Help me to impact the world for Your name's sake.
