“As for God, his way is perfect: The Lord’s word is flawless; he shields all who take refuge in him.” 2 Samuel 22:31 (NIV)
While we have selected a verse from a passage in 2 Samuel, we recognize it as the same song recorded in Psalm 18. It is a song written by David during the time that King Saul was hunting him to kill him. It is a song of thanksgiving and praise to God for the deliverance and protection God had provided David. We can accept the words of this song as true and join in thanking God for His help to us in our lives. Perhaps we are not being pursued by evil men intent of killing us, but many Christians in our time are living in fear of their lives because of their faith. It is important for all to believe that God's ways are perfect and so are His words and promises. We can base our actions and reactions, and our very lives on what God has promised. For those who take refuge in Him are shielded by God. Nothing will happen to us that God does not allow and our future is secure in Him. When we take refuge in our God by exercising our faith in His promises, we can trust Him for the outcome.
