God's way is perfect

Bible Text: Psalm 18:30

God's way is perfect. But what makes this way perfect and how can we be on this way.

God's way is Jesus and This way, Jesus, is the word of God. Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.(John 14:6) . And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. (John 1:14)

God's way is perfect because Jesus is perfect. He who was without sin chose to die for the sinners. This Word of God is God breathed. Straight from God himself. He made us and has given us his word that we keep it in our hearts. How then can we question the usefulness, the authenticity and how applicable it is to all aspects of our lives.

His word is perfect for instruction, he is perfect to guide us in all things, he is perfect to put us on the right track. 

The Lord’s word is flawless; he shields all who take refuge in him. (Psalm 18:30)

Note how the word is personified with the pronoun he and him. This he and him refers to Jesus who is the word of God. Those who take refuge in Jesus, God's word, are shielded by Jesus himself. The children of God who do not only listen to God's Word but put this word in action, and are careful to obey this word, have a heavenly security detail with Jesus himself as Chief Bodyguard. Jesus shields us from all harm, he even shield us from ourselves.

This word of God is perfect and has been given to us. This way is however narrow. It is not easy to keep his word. However we either chose this narrow way or go to the broad way which leads to death. 

“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. (Matthew 7:13-14)

Prayer: Lord Jesus, I commit my life in your hands. I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you. 

And unto Him who is able to do exceedingly, abundantly, above all that we could ever ask or think, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever.

Amen!
