“As for God, his way is perfect: The
Lord’s word is flawless; he shields all who take refuge in him.” Psalm 18:30
“Before every man there lies a wide and pleasant road that seems right
but ends in death.”* Solomon says it two times, once in Proverbs
14:12 and again in Proverbs 16:25. In
comparison, the road of God is perfect. As we follow Him down the road we will encounter
potholes and rough stretches of pavement along with obstacles lying in our path. The Lord has not left us, He has placed them there
to strengthen our faith and trust in Him.
If our road was always smooth without any challenges then how would we
grow?
Like
His path, God’s word is also perfect.
What He says He will do. It’s up to us to either believe or disbelieve
that. Belief actually has to come first before we will trust the path He has
laid before us. It means every man has a very important choice to make. Once we
begin to cultivate our relationship with God we will understand that His
promises are for all who have place their trust in Him. Therefore we truly have
nothing to fear this side of heaven for He shields all that take refuge in him.
There
is but one way to get to heaven, not a multitude of ways, as other religions
would have us believe. Jesus proclaims
that He is “the way, the truth and the life” (John 14:6). The road God provides, takes us through the
cross on Golgotha’s hill. God’s perfect
word and way leads us down the road He knows we need to travel to get where He
desires us to be. He allows certain situations to arise for our ultimate
benefit. Nothing takes Him by
surprise. He is in complete control at
all times. Cling to God’s every word and
rely on Him to provide a refuge for you in all your most difficult times. Until next time, walk with the King and be a
blessing!
