Psalm 18:30 (NKJV) 30 As for God, His way is perfect; The word of the Lord is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him.
His way is perfect.
What better way to sum up God and His ways?
Our human intellect can sometimes steer us wrong when it comes to God’s ways.
We become comfortable in our understanding. We depend solely on our intellect to get us through things we face.
And in doing so, we push God away without realizing it. We keep Him at arm’s length.
Then we wonder why He is silent.
That silence is often due to us expecting God to move or speak in a way that we understand or in the timing we demand.
Hindsight will always show us the error of our ways if we discern properly and allow God to teach us His ways.
This is where spending time in God’s word benefits us immensely. It shows us who He is. It teaches us His ways. It helps us better understand spiritual matters, leading to us having sharper discernment.
And as we develop spiritual understanding, we lean less on our own understanding.
Then our mind is blown as we are able to recognize God moving because we are no longer looking for Him with our natural eyes but giving preference instead to eyes led by the Holy Spirit.
And that is when we realize that He indeed is a shield to all who trust Him.
