We do not know much about God, but some things we can be sure of.
"As for God, his way is perfect: The Lord's word is flawless: He shields all who take refuge in him." Psalm 18:30.
GOD'S WAY
God is sovereign, which means He rules all things. He is the ultimate authority and absolute power. He has the merit to be ruler since He is Creator, and as the Righteous One, He deserves to be the ruler. Because God is sovereign, His way is right, and just- and logically perfect.
To say the phrase "God's way" must mean the way He does all He does. We might say this person has a certain way, and we mean there is a consistent manner in which that person does things. God has a certain way too. His way is unchanging, consistent right holy, just loving fair, and it is all that we would consider perfect.
WORD
The Word of God is many things. It is more than a set of commands and rules. It reveals who He is and what He desires from us. It points us to His plan of salvation.
If God is perfect and all-powerful, then His Word must be too; if there is any corruption in His Word, He is weak and not perfect. Those who accept the challenge to objectively test The Scriptures testify that it stands as true.
REFUGE
A refuge is a place that is safe and unique in an area or time of trouble. That it exists does not mean you are automatically protected. You must enter refuge; you must decide to go to it; if not, you are not protected. Entering the refuge is a decision and an act of will. We must come to God to find refuge in Him. He does not force himself upon us but awaits our choice.
We need to find refuge in God during the many crises in our world these days. The greatest need is not sheltered from a storm but our need for forgiveness of sins and deliverance from the judgment of sin.
God fulfilled the need for refuge when he became a man and died to punish our sins.
PERFECT
We are not perfect. Therefore, we cannot truly understand perfection, and because of that, we cannot fully understand The Lord. A mouse could not understand the complexities of human affairs because humans are above mice in sophistication and technology; since we know The Almighty is higher than we are, we know we cannot fully understand Him, except for what He chooses to reveal us. He has chosen to reveal something of Himself to us and what He has revealed is comforting and glorious. |

SHIELD
You can imagine some disaster that lays waste the land and society, but in the midst of the calamity, the shielding arms of the Almighty are a barrier between destruction and those who look to Him. This is the act of a Loving Father. A shield does not mean that danger is not present, and we still live in a world afflicted with problems, but we can be confident that He is a shield to us. We may not see it that way, but remember, we cannot fully understand God, so we cannot fully understand His shielding.REFUGE
