The friendship of the LORD
is for those who fear him,
and he makes known to them
his covenant.
Psalm 25:14
A true friend is one who can keep a secret.
In other bible translations of this verse, the word "friendship" refers to "secrets" of the Lord.
God knows all our secrets for nothing is hidden that will not be made manifest, nor is anything secret that will not be known and come to light (Lk 8:17 NASB). What is amazing is when you come to a degree of closeness and friendship with the Lord where He Himself will reveal to you His secrets!
Anyone can read the Bible but not all can fully understand and comprehend its depth. Each person would have a different understanding of what he has read depending on his level of relationship with the Lord. This is why the Lord said, "while seeing they do not see, and while hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand" (Mt 13:13 NASB).
I am just thankful to the Lord that He has made me His friend, built upon the trust that I will keep His words in my heart all the days of my life.
To God be the glory now and forever. Amen.
