Way to Go!

As for God, His way is perfect! The word of the Lord is tested and tried; He is a shield to all those who take refuge and put their trust in Him. Psalm 18:30 AMPC

Few Lessons:
1. If God's way is perfect, it means that there are imperfect ways. The devil will always give us options; he wants us to think that we can place God side by side with other 'viable' options, and take one, depending on the circumstances we face. However, it is clear that there can only be one perfect way. Jesus is the Way, not one of the ways; Jesus is the Truth, not one of several truths; Jesus is the Life, not one of several sources of life.

2. You can never divorce God's nature from the deep truths established in His Word. Through his Word, we discover the nature of God- One in full control of the universe, and whose hands and eyes are imprinted on the world. No corner is so dark that his eyes do not see, and nobody is so far gone that he is beyond the reach of God's mercy.

3. God's Word has been tested and tried through the ages and has been found faithful. It has been applied to various circumstances and it has remained true across the broad spectrum of life. No matter the circumstances- birth, life, marriage, divorce, work, attitude, beliefs, actions, motives, intentions and death, God's Word establishes one eternal truth- whatever God has said is what will last.

4. You are only truly safe when you are in the One who is the true shield and refuge. The world speaks of high fences, electrocuted gates, arms-bearing bodyguards and CCTV, yet no one is truly safe. Meet the God who neither sleeps nor slumbers, who says he is a very present help in times of trouble. He is the One that can turn a lion's den into a room for the night, and can turn a fiery furnace into a cold room. The condition is however specified- take refuge and put your trust in God, not only call when you are in trouble and leave him out at other times. Nothing is impossible for God. His time of favour is here.
