Day 150 I Have Confidence In God
Psalm 138:8 NKJV
The LORD will perfect that which concerns me; Your mercy, O LORD, endures forever; Do not forsake the works of Your hands.
Let’s go to Webster’s and find out what “perfect” means.
PERFECT (used as a verb)
· to bring to completion; finish.
· to bring to perfection; make flawless or faultless.
· to bring nearer to perfection; improve.
The work of God’s hands is to take our problems, our messes, our fears and bring them to place of perfection, improvement and completion. He never just says, “Wait it out. Endure to the end. Let’s see if you can handle this, after all you got yourself into this.” No, the verse says, “Your mercy, O Lord, endures forever.”
Any well-meaning father would say, “Let me help you with this, my child. I am stronger than you are, wiser than you are and have more resources than you do. I will help you through this.”
Whenever I think about the character of God, I think about this well-meaning father--the one who cares for his kids. That’s what our Heavenly Father is like---and even more so because our Heavenly Father has no sin, no weakness, no double-mindedness, no shadow of turning.
If the Word of God says, “The Lord will perfect that which concerns me,” what more do we need to know?? We can trust that, wrap our faith around that, and have peace that He is doing just that!!!
