David said, “As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the Lord is flawless.” I have no problem comprehending God’s perfection. From what He has declared about Himself in the Bible, there can only be one logical conclusion; God’s way is perfect, for God is perfect.

This means that His wisdom is perfect, His justice is perfect, His knowledge is perfect and His love is perfect. Ah, think of the ramifications of a perfect Being for just a moment. Perfection knows every possible equation and perfect wisdom applies the best one. God can direct your life in the most perfect way; the perfect thought, the perfect attitude, the perfect choice.

David goes on to say, “It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect.” So, there we have it; through faith in this perfect God, David could believe and declare that God makes his way perfect! This is probably why David sang in another place, “Blessed are they whose ways are blameless, who walk according to the law of the Lord. Blessed are they who keep his statutes and seek him with all their heart. They do nothing wrong.”

Earlier, I said that God could direct our lives in the most perfect way and now David says that God makes his way perfect. The difference between can and does is the total surrender of our free will to God’s perfect will. For you see, in God’s perfect plan, our free will was created – God knew that this was the only way (remember; as for God, his way is perfect)

God perfectly created you and I with free will, and through that free will, we can love God perfectly! This is the essence of God’s perfect plan for mankind. Why do you think we were created at all? Was it for this life only? I think not.

God created us so that we could perfectly love and be perfectly loved – for all eternity! “And now I will show you the most excellent way…[Love never fails.] Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.”

Now I wish my life was perfect. I wish everything I did, everything I said, or thought was perfect; but it’s not. Now, I only know in part, now I only see but in a poor reflection, as in a mirror. So, (with free-will at hand) I choose to surrender to God’s way – God’s perfect way!

I believe, that if we trust God’s way now, even though it be through faith, one day we shall see face to face and know fully the love that He has for us. It is obvious, that when perfection comes, imperfection will pass away. For now, brethren, we must trust that God will perfectly work His perfect way in us – perfectly!
