#331: The Perfection of God

Description

Episode 331 - Show Notes:

I will be the first to admit that I don’t understand everything about God. I don’t know why he does certain things. I don’t always see how he is working. But I stand today upon the truth of scripture and believe that God’s ways are perfect.
At some point in your life you have probably said the words, “I’m not perfect.” Usually, we say this as a defense mechanism when we have messed up. Unlike us, God is perfect. He does not sin. He does not make mistakes. He does not fail. He never needs to repent.
I’m sometimes reminded that God doesn’t owe me an explanation. It doesn’t have to make sense to me. He is God, and I am not.
What is essential is that I trust him. I accept that his ways are right, and not only right, his ways are perfect. Faith calls for us to trust God’s sovereignty. We believe God even when we don't understand and even when he doesn’t make sense to our natural mind.

Psalm 18:30 - “As for God, his way is perfect: The Lord’s word is flawless; he shields all who take refuge in him.”
