“As for God,  His way is perfect;
 The word of the LORD is proven;
 He is a shield to all who trust in Him.”  2 Samuel 22:31
(Psalm: 18:30 repeats this verse.)

God’s way is perfect (complete, blameless);  His word is tested; to those who trust Him, He is a shield!  This verse attests to God’s divine ways, His divine protection and His divine refuge.  Let’s look at other Scripture concerning these things.

Deuteronomy 32:4 tells us:
“The Rock!  His work is perfect,
 For all His ways are just;
 A God of faithfulness and without injustice,
 Righteous and upright is He.”
Along with verse 3 we often sing this portion of Scripture in our worship service.  There are many portions of Scripture that tell of the glories of God that have been set to music.  I find that this is a wonderful way to give honor and praise to the Lord through the day.  It is also a comfort to sing of God’s goodness and blessings especially in time of difficulties.

*His divine ways:
“The LORD is righteous in all His ways,
 Gracious in all His works.
 The LORD is near to all who call upon Him,
 To all who call upon Him in truth.”  Psalm 145:17-18

“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
 So are My ways higher than your ways,
 And My thoughts than your thoughts.”  Isaiah 55:9

“…For the ways of the LORD are right,
 The righteous walk in them…”  Hosea 14:9

“Oh, the depth of His riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God!  How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways.”  Romans 11:33

*His divine perfection:
As well as the above Scriptures we add Ecclesiastes 3:14,
“I know that everything God does will remain forever; there is nothing to add to it and there is nothing to take from it, for God has so worked that men should fear (be in awe of before) Him.”  

*His divine refuge:
“The eternal God is your refuge,
 And underneath are the everlasting arms…”  Deuteronomy 34:27

“For in the time of trouble
 He shall  hide me in His pavilion;
 In the secret place of His tabernacle
 He shall hide me;
 He shall set me high upon a rock.”  Psalm: 27:5
And,
“God is our refuge and strength,
 A very present help in trouble.”  Psalm 46:1

“In the fear (reverence) of the LORD there is strong confidence,
 And His children will have a place of refuge.”  Proverbs 14:26

“The name of the LORD is a strong tower;
 The righteous run to it and are safe.”  Proverbs 18:10

Isaiah 25:4 gives a brief, but wonderful summary of God’s divine refuge and wall of protection for His own,
“For Thou hast been a defense for the helpless, 
 A defense for the needy in his distress,
 A refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat;
 For the breath of the ruthless is like a rain storm against a wall.”  

And with those who sing the song of Moses and the song of the Lamb in Revelation 15:3-4 we add our voices and proclaim,
“Great and marvelous are Your works,
 Lord God Almighty!
 Just and true are Your ways,
 O King of the saints!
 Who shall not fear You, O Lord, and glorify Your name?
 For You alone are holy.
 For all nations shall come and worship before You,
 For Your judgments have been manifested.”

All hail King Jesus, bless His name forever.  He has reconciled us to our heavenly Father that all these sure and true things spoken above are ours in Him!  Hallelujah!
