“As for God, His way
is perfect; the Word of the Lord is tried. He is a Buckler to all those that
trust in Him.” Psalm 18: 30
God is continually
showing me how perfect His way truly is. Most of the time, we have our own
ideas of how to do things and think that our way is best, even if it’s
subconsciously. However, what if we actually chose to do things God’s way?
What if we actually
chose to handle our finances God’s way?
What if we actually
chose to handle our relationships God’s way?
What if we actually
chose to handle school God’s way?
What if we actually
chose to handle work God’s way?
What would happen if we chose to look to God
for the solution to each and every area of life, rather than looking to how we
or society have always done things?
What if we actually
believed that God’s way of living is truly perfect? That He truly does know
what He is doing and that He is absolutely able to be trusted…completely and
without reserve?
“Lead me in Thy
Truth, and teach me: for Thou art the God of my salvation. On Thee do I wait
all the day.” Psalm 25: 5
No longer would we
try to brainstorm how to handle a situation.
No longer would we
try to come up with fleshly solutions.
No longer would we
look inward during life’s difficult challenges.
We would focus our
gaze upon HIM. For we are absolutely, positively, without a doubt convinced
that our God will come through on our behalf! We know that when we try to do
things in our own strength or willpower, we ruin them and make things only
worse. But I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord; we can be completely and
utterly dependent upon the One is all knowing!
His way is tried. Christians throughout history
have taken God at His Word in simple faith, and He has always, without fail performed on their behalf! For, He is faithful
and cannot be otherwise!
Jackie Pullinger was
called to the walled city of Hong Kong, full of prostitutes and drug lords. She
walked right into the city, free from worry of the danger present and
absolutely confident in her Lord’s promised protection.
George Mueller set
plates at the table for children, even when no food was visibly available,
absolutely confident in his God’s promised provision.
Amy Carmichael left
home and comforts to rescue little girls from temple prostitution, absolutely
confident in her Lord’s promised satisfaction and love.
Richard Wurmbrand
allowed himself to be tortured for the sake of Christ’s precious Name,
absolutely confident in his Lord’s promised grace and endurance.
Corrie Ten Boom was
able to love and forgive a man who had tortured her dear sister, absolutely
confident of that fact that her God has promised to supply her with His love.
Little 5’ tall
Gladys Alyward marched into a men’s bloody prison riot and commanded them to stop
in the Name of Jesus, absolutely confident in her God’s authority and control.
I could keep going.
Many others throughout history have seen God perform miraculous things on their
behalf, simply because they chose to stake their all upon Him and let Him
perform that which He has promised.
Will we choose to trust Him in such a way?
