Daily D – Psalm 25:14

by David Bowman | Jan 25, 2026 | Daily D | 0 comments

Psalm 25:14
The LORD confides in those who fear him;
he makes his covenant known to them. (NIV)

The LORD is a friend to those who fear him.
He teaches them his covenant. (NLT)

God-friendship is for God-worshipers;
They are the ones he confides in. (MSG)

There was a song about twenty years ago that contemporary-worship churches sang nearly every Sunday for a very long time. It was played on Christian radio every hour. It’s a great song, especially the first hundred times you sing it.

[Verse]
Who am I that You are mindful of me
That You hear me when I call
Is it true that You are thinking of me
How You love me it’s amazing

[Chorus]
I am a friend of God
I am a friend of God
I am a friend of God
He calls me friend

[Bridge]
God Almighty, Lord of Glory
You have called me friend

Today’s verse has been around longer, has been spoken, has been preached, and sung for nearly three thousand years. It has been set to different musical expressions throughout church history.

There is deep truth in this verse. There is wonderful delight for those who read it afresh from time to time. This is an encouraging word. This verse puts strength in our spines and delight in our hearts. It’s worth memorizing and reflecting on often.

Who can God trust with deep truths?

Who can God rely on to put into practice what he teaches?

Who does he speak to most regularly?

God entrusts deeper truths to those who do what he says.

God empowers for significance those who hear and obey.

God speaks to those who are ready to hear his words of truth and life, and ready to move at the impulse of his love.

It’s high time some of us move beyond knowledge of God in favor of the kind of rapport where he can reliably speak to our hearts knowing we already agree with everything he says and anything he asks.

Singing “I am a friend of God” takes on a whole new meaning when we move into God’s confidence.

—

I will be a person God can confide in.

—

Our Father, I lean in to listen to whatever you want to say to me. Show me the way I should go. Place your thoughts in my mind, and your words in my mouth. Draw me ever closer to your loving heart and your creative mind. Amen.

Daily D – Luke 1:76-79

Luke 1:76-79 And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High;
for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him,
to give his people the knowledge of salvation
through the forgiveness of their sins,
because of the tender mercy of our God,
by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven
to shine on those living in darkness
and in the shadow of death,
to guide our feet into the path of peace.
(NIV)

Daily D – John 20:24-28

John 20:24-28 Now Thomas (also known as Didymus), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!”

But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”

A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”

Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”

Daily D – John 18:10-11

John 18:10, 11 Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, cutting off his right ear. (The servant’s name was Malchus.) Jesus commanded Peter, “Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?”

Daily D – John 13:3-5

John 13:3-5 Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.

Daily D – John 11:6

John 11:6 “So when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was two more days, . . .”
