Psalms25:14
Verſ. 14. The ſecret of the Lord is with them that fear him] It is neither learning nor labour that can give inſight into Gods ſecrets, thoſe Arcana imperii, Mat. 13.12. the Myſteries of the Kingdome of Heaven, the mind of Chriſt, 1 Cor. 2. ult. theſe things come by revelation, rather than diſcourſe of reaſon, and muſt therefore bee obtained by prayer. Thoſe that diligently ſeek him, ſhall bee of his cabi net counſel, ſhall know his ſoul-ſecrets, and bee admitted into a gracious familiarity and friendſhip, Joh. 15.15. Henceforth I call you not ſervants, for the ſervant knoweth not what his Lord doth; but I have called you friends, for all things that I have heard of my Father, I have made known to you.
And he will ſhew them his Covenant] As having no greater ſecret to impart to them, than by ſhewing them the Covenant of Grace, his good pleaſure and purpoſe of their eternal Salvation: to make them know the love of Chriſt which paſſeth knowledge, that they may be filled with all the fulneſs of God, Epheſ. 3.19. The Jews bragged much of Gods Covenant, but here they are given to underſtand, that only ſuch as fear God are Covenanters. Acts 13.16. Men of Iſrael, and yee that fear God, give audience.
