Verse of the Day (October 17, 2019)

The Hebrew word (BDB 691, KB 745) for “secret” can mean (cf. Job 15:8; Psa 111:1): (1) confidential discussion – Job 29:4; Psa 55:14 (2) secret counsel – Job 15:8; Pro 11:13; Pro 20:19; Pro 25:9; (3) circle of confidants – Psa 89:7; Jer 15:17; Jer 23:18; Jer 23:22. These connotations are fluid and interchangeable. There is a special consultation, fellowship, and impartation of knowledge between the covenant God and His faithful followers. As YHWH’s eyes are continuously on those who fear Him and obey Him, so too, the faithful continue to be faithful by keeping their full and focused attention on Him (cf. Heb 12:2)!
