Perfection

Meditate.

God's way is perfect. All the LORD's promises prove true. He is a shield for all who look to him for protection. For who is God except the LORD? Who but our God is a solid rock? God is my strong fortress, and he makes my way perfect. 2 Samuel 22:31-33

God’s way is perfect. …and He makes my way perfect. Perfect—without flaw—complete—with integrity. God is beyond any human boundaries or ideas. We cannot attain perfect—but God is already perfect. I like this verse in James that a friend used to describe her newborn child in her birth announcement many years ago. I thought it strange at first…but it is how little babies are viewed…perfect because they are from God who we can count on to always be the same. He never changes, He is perfect.

Whatever is good and perfect comes down to us from God our Father, who created all the lights in the heavens. He never changes or casts a shifting shadow. James 1:17

Whatever God has promised, we can count on it to be fulfilled because His past promises have been fulfilled just as He said.

Not a single one of all the good promises the LORD had given to the family of Israel was left unfulfilled; everything he had spoken came true. Joshua 21:45

So, Jesus said He would come back for us…and take us to Heaven where He is preparing a new home for us. We can trust Him, believe what He said…and watch for His return. It may be soon. Are you ready?

Don't let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me. There is more than enough room in my Father's home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am. John 14:1-3

Prayer ~ Thank You, God, for revealing Your plan—which is Christ Himself, our Lord and Savior. I trust You to do just what You have intended to do since You created the world. It is good that You don’t want anyone to perish. Along with many others, I am waiting patiently…and anxiously for Christ’s return. Come quickly, Jesus.

Verses of Salvation and Thanksgiving ~ Come, let us sing to the LORD! Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come to him with thanksgiving. Let us sing psalms of praise to him. For the LORD is a great God, a great King above all gods. Psalm 95:1-3
