Flawless

2 Samuel 22:31 “As for God, his way is perfect: The Lord’s word is flawless; he shields all who take refuge in him.

As we look around and within ourselves we are acutely aware how imperfect we are in knowledge, skill and understanding today and the future. I suppose that’s why many look to people who claim they can know or predict the future. 

It is always best to rely on one who knows perfectly the future of everything and everyone; who also lives in the present and future. God alone is perfect and knows all things. Therefore, he is reliable and dependable in all he says in the bible.

Note what is said about his Word. Flawless! This word refers in the sense that like precious metals in a refiner’s furnace it has been ‘tested’ to the point of proving its purity. Can we ever say God’s written Word contains dross; impurities, errors, or mistakes? No! It has been tested for 1000’s of years and has been found to be perfect at every turn and every teaching. 

Because of God’s trustworthiness he can and will protect his people as we see here in 2 Samuel. This chapter is David’s song of praise for delivering him from all his enemies including King Saul.

God has not changed, he continues to deliver and protect when we listen to him and obey.

This is the Day

Perspective can change everything, and it comes down to our choice. You’ve heard it before; We can look at a glass and see that it is either half full or half empty. One is a positive outlook and one is negative, and both perspectives are correct.

Psalm 118:24 “This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it.”

Last Sunday of the Church Year

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. John 14:27

My Peace I Give You

John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

Peace treaties here and there. There is so much conflict in our world, no wonder many live in fear, anxiety and with little hope of improvement. Peace is usually defined as the absence of conflict. Some want peace at any price which often leads to regret giving up what you would rather hold on to.
