“As for God, his way is perfect; The LORD’s word is flawless;
he shields all who take refuge in him.”
he shields all who take refuge in him.”
Psalm 18:30 (NIV)
This song of David was sung to music, unlike the song of Moses, and it celebrates the perfect works of God on David’s behalf, for God came from heaven and rescued David from all his enemies. As David recounts how God dealt with David according to David’s righteousness, we start to squirm a little, and wonder how David’s hands could be clean when Scripture records some of his sins. His hands are clean the same way my hands are clean and your hands are clean, for David went to God for forgiveness, confessing and repenting of his sin and being washed and cleansed by God’s gracious application of the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is true that David lived before Christ died, and yet it is also true that the sacrifices David offered for cleansing pointed to the One True Sacrifice.
This is the way of God that is perfect.
His way is to forgive those who come in repentance.
To shield those who take refugee in Him.
To save the humble.
I am so grateful that God’s way - the way of repentance and forgiveness - is perfect.
I am so glad that His Words are flawless, no error at all.
For all who come to Christ seeking forgiveness, believing on His name will be washed clean, and made whole.
Rescued from our great enemy, the accuser of our soul.
I love you LORD!
