“The Lord confides in those who fear him; he makes his covenant known to them. My eyes are ever on the Lord, for only he will release my feet from the snare.” Psalm 25:14-15
“Confides” implies that those who have faith live in a close, personal relationship with God.
“Fear Him” means those who fear the Lord pay attention to His instructions, and thus, learn the secrets of God’s wisdom in His Word. The word “fear” at this time was defined as respect, honor, and reverence.
“The snare” is a poetic description of David’s affliction by his enemies. He depicts himself as a helpless animal, trapped in a net.
Earlier in this Psalm David prayed, “For You I wait all the day long”. God promises to answer prayer, but we may be impatient or tempted to question His answers. Even when our faithfulness fails, God is faithful. He hears our prayers and truly acts for our good. In faith, we must patiently wait for Him.
God’s blessings on your day…
