Holding on to friendship means we are exhibiting God’s steadfast love and faithfulness. In verse 14 below, God’s friendship is characterized by His desire to share with us His covenant. Our posture with God requires an awesome respect for who He is. He is willing to share with us His faithful covenant of love. Let’s keep our eyes on the LORD, who is the source of true friendship- Teresa #spaceneedle
Psalm 25
To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul.
2
O my God, in you I trust;
let me not be put to shame;
let not my enemies exult over me.
3
Indeed, none who wait for you shall be put to shame;
they shall be ashamed who are wantonly treacherous.
4
Make me to know your ways, O Lord;
teach me your paths.
5
Lead me in your truth and teach me,
for you are the God of my salvation;
for you I wait all the day long.
6
Remember your mercy, O Lord, and your steadfast love,
for they have been from of old.
7
Remember not the sins of my youth or my transgressions;
according to your steadfast love remember me,
for the sake of your goodness, O Lord!
8
Good and upright is the Lord;
therefore he instructs sinners in the way.
9
He leads the humble in what is right,
and teaches the humble his way.
10
All the paths of the Lord are steadfast love and faithfulness,
for those who keep his covenant and his testimonies.
11
For your name’s sake, O Lord,
pardon my guilt, for it is great.
12
Who is the man who fears the Lord?
Him will he instruct in the way that he should choose.
13
His soul shall abide in well-being,
and his offspring shall inherit the land.
14
The friendship[b] of the Lord is for those who fear him,
and he makes known to them his covenant.
15
My eyes are ever toward the Lord,
for he will pluck my feet out of the net.
