A few weeks ago, I decided to drive to church early Sunday morning and do my reading in my car before I had to go in to choir practice. The weeks prior to this time the Lord had been reminding over and over that His way is always right and perfect through different situations. Then, that morning, I read Psalm 18 and verse 30 particularly stood out to me. It says:
"As for God, his ways is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him."
It was just another encouragement to me to hear from God once again, that I can trust Him, and by trusting Him, I will not be ashamed, because His way is always right. Doing things my way only leads to hurt and shame.
Then I silently asked the Lord to somehow use this verse in a message or sermon soon, just as another encouragement to me to keep trusting. When I got to Sunday school that morning, our Sunday school teacher started preaching out of Psalm 18 and focused on verse 30! The Lord was so kind to me to answer that prayer and my heart was so encouraged!
It takes faith to believe that God's way is right. It takes faith to obey Him. It takes faith to yeild my thoughts and my plans and my ways to His, even if I don't understand what the Lord is doing at the time. He is always working in our lives!
And the best part is, when we do things God's way, all glory goes to Him! And that is exactly what I want Him to have from my life! We have a perfect God who can do nothing imperfectly! Keep yielding and trusting in Him!
