Key scripture- “But His private counsel is with the upright” (Proverbs 3:32 AMP).

Did you know that your relationship with God can become the most beautiful, open, trusting, caring, meaningful relationship in your life?

Think of your closest friend. It may be one of your siblings or someone you have known since childhood. It may be the first roommate that you had when you moved out of your childhood home. It may be your spouse, the person who knows all your weaknesses and still loves you.

Imagine having that kind of comfortable, intimate bond of love in your relationship with God. If you want that kind of relationship with God, but you are wondering if He wants that kind of relationship with you, the Key scripture answers your question and takes away any doubts that you may have because it says that, “But His private counsel is with the upright”.

That means that if you are “upright”, if you put God first in your life, if you reject those things that dishonour Him, and embrace the things that bring Him joy, if you obey Him and follow what He commands you to do in His Word, then God will reveal Himself to you in a very deep way, because His secret counsel is with the upright, those who have spiritual integrity and moral courage. He will communicate to you the secret tokens of His love, and He will give you understanding and discernment so that you will know Him and the meanings and intentions of His providence, and you will experience more of the knowledge of God

I guarantee you, that once you have experienced the nearness of God, when He opens up His heart to you and lets you know and feel His presence, and you hear Him leading and guiding you, you will never be satisfied with anything less, and you will want more and more from Him. Are you ready to experience that in your life, if so, start right now and get to know Him by getting into His Word, spending time with Him and praying to Him.

Pray this – Our Precious Heavenly Father, I want Your counsel and friendship. I want to be taken into Your confidence. I want to know Your secrets and go deeper in my knowledge of You. I want to have a communion with You that the world does not understand. I take Jesus’ yoke upon me. I want to walk and conduct myself like Jesus did. I commit my ways to You. I want to walk in godliness. I want You to show me what it means to abide in You in every aspect of my life. When You look at me, I want You to see a child after Your own heart. I want You to be glorified in my life. I want Your face to shine upon me. I will mediate on and not forget Your Word, I will treasure Your commandments in my heart, I will be attentive to Your godly wisdom, I want to apply my heart to understanding and seek it eagerly. I know that, because I am a believer, I am in right standing with You and that means You store away sound wisdom for me, You are a shield to me, You guard the paths of justice for me; and You preserve my way. (Proverbs 2:5-8). Father, I worship and adore You because You are The Lord God Almighty and You are truly awesome. In the Name of Jesus, my friend and Savior, I pray, Amen.
