Psalm 18:30 As for God, His way is perfect; The word of the Lord is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him.
Who do we turn to for advice, and guidance, when times become difficult? For King David, his Guide, and Protector, was God and His Word. This verse is part of a Psalm of praise to the Lord for delivering David from his enemies. The truth is that our God is perfect in all His ways. We may not always understand His ways, and what He allows in our life (or the life of our loved ones), but the fact is that God never makes a mistake. Sadly, we, with our carnal minds, will question God's ways, and choose to follow our own wisdom, and logic, only to make situations worse. We, as born again believers, have an advantage over those who do not know Jesus (those who have not called upon Him or trusted Him for eternal life), because we have the Holy Spirit in us to guide us, and help us understand the truths, and principles, in God's Word, that we can use to help us manuever life; while having the peace of God, no matter what we are going through. Regardless of what we experience, and what God allows, if we trust God, and His unfailing Word, we will always be under the wings of His protection. The bottom line is that without God's guidance, His Word, and His protection, there is not one of us that would survive in this world without completely breaking down. Let us not ignore our God. Instead, let us seek after Him daily, not just when things go bad, but even now while things are peaceful. There is a time for all things, and the day will come when our life may be disrupted by challenging circumstances. Are we ready? Our God is perfect, in every way. His Word will never fail us, and the best place to be when the enemy shows up is standing behind our Lord, and Savior, who will always go before us, and fight on our behalf.
