“As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless.
He is a shield for all who take refuge in Him.”  Psalm 18:30
 
This is the awesome God that we love and serve because He first loved us!  What does Scripture tell us of His way, His word and His shield that protects?
 
As for His perfect ways--
They are right and just:
“Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and exalt and glorify the King of heaven,  because everything He does is right and all his ways are just…”  Daniel 4:37
 
They are true and just:
“And they (the seven angels) sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying:
‘Great and marvelous are Your works, Lord God Almighty!
Just and true are Your ways, O King of the saints!’”  Revelation 15:3
 
They are higher than man’s ways:
“‘For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways,’ says the LORD.
‘For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways,
And My thoughts than your thoughts.’”  Isaiah 55:8-9
 
They are unsearchable:
“Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God!  How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out!”  Romans 11:33
 
Of His flawless (tried and true, proven, pure) word we see-- 
The word is pure:
“The words of the LORD are pure words,
Like silver tried in a furnace of earth,
Purified seven times.” Psalm 12:6 
 
“Every word of God is pure (tested, refined);
He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him.”  Proverbs 30:5
 
The word is perfect and sure:
“The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul;
The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.”  Psalm 19:7
 
The word is forever:
“The grass withers, the flower fades, 
But the word of our God stands forever.”  Isaiah 40:8
 
There is so much to say about God’s word, but I’ll let Psalm 111:7-8 in The Amplified Bible sum it up for us in this way,
“The works of His hands are [absolute] truth and justice [faithful and right]; and all His decrees and precepts are sure (fixed, established, and trustworthy).  Vs.7
They stand fast and are established forever and ever and are done in [absolute] truth and uprightness.”  Vs.8
 
To this I add for God‘s people who are called to rest in Christ,
The Lord’s word is living and active:
“For the word of the God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”  
Hebrews 4:12 
 
As for God’s shield it is not only protection, but favor, salvation and truth:
“For You, O LORD, will bless the righteous;
With favor You will surround him as a shield.”  Psalm 5:11
 
“You have also given me the shield of Your salvation;
Your right hand has held me up,
Your gentleness has made me great.”  Psalm 18:35
 
“…And under His wings you shall take refuge;
His truth shall be your shield and buckler.”  Psalm 91:4 
 
With grateful hearts, we say thank you!  Your are The God Most Holy of all creation!  We have no words to express how awesome You are to us, nor words that can express how much we love You Lord.  You are the Lord God, the One who first loved us!  Amen
