GOD'S PERFECT WORD

 GOD'S PERFECT WORD

Ps. 19:7 The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul. The decrees of the LORD are trustworthy, making wise the simple. NLT

There is nothing lacking whatsoever in God’s law. It is perfect for every need we have. It addresses our life issues. It has the authority of God behind it so it is permanent and unalterable. God says exactly what He means and means exactly what He says. If there is confusion as to what it means, guess where the problem lies. What we can't understand we accept by faith because God is the author of it.

No one perfectly understands all of God’s Word. We are not capable of it. However, the more we invest our time and minds into it, the more we are able to understand it. And, we understand things in different ways at different times as our needs change. The truth always remains the same, but its application to life at times varies depending on our needs. No one can have right understanding without the guidance of the Spirit of Christ. As we open our hearts and minds to God, He guides us into the truth. It does not come easily. We must study it, meditate upon it, and endeavor to live it in order for it to make a difference in our living. We must study God’s Word to show ourselves approved unto God. God helps us and revives our souls through His Word, but not without our cooperation.

All that God says is trustworthy and makes the simple wise. You can trust everything that God says. It is absolutely true from beginning to end. God is absolute truth and whatever comes from Him is truth. No matter how simple-minded a person may be, knowing God’s Word and living by it makes him wise. We ignore God’s Word in our lives at our own peril. There can be no peace and joy in living without it.
