The friendship of Jehovah is with them that fear him; and he will show them his covenant. Psalm 25.14.
What kind of person may receive God’s direction? They who fear God; because "the secret of Jehovah is with them that fear him, that he may make known his covenant to them" (same verse, Darby’s translation). What is the meaning of "fear God"? To fear Him is to hallow His name—that is, to exalt Him. They who seek God’s will with singleness of heart and obey Him absolutely are those who fear Him. To such as these will He tell His secret and show His covenant.
