As For God, His way is Perfect!
As For God, His way is Perfect!
By Evangeline Unity Gordon Folson
As for God, His way is perfect: the word of the Lord is tried. He is a bucker to all those that trust Him.
The ESU translation says:
This God – His way is perfect; the word of the Lord proves true; He is a shield for all those who take refuge in Him.
Some translations replace the word “perfect” with “blameless”. The word “true” is sometimes replaced with “flawless” and “buckler” with “shield”.
Replacing the words above in KJV gives:
As for God His is blameless (just): the word Lord is flawless (without errors); He is a shield (protects) all those that trust in Him.
Lets look or elaborate on some of the phrases in the verse above.
- What shows that God’s way is perfect or blameless?
Psalm 23:4
Romans 8:28
- What shows that God’s word is true or flawless (without errors)
Joshua 1:8

- How does God shield or protect us?
Psalm 91:7
Philippians 4:6-7
- How can we show that we trust God?
Proverbs 3:5-6
Psalm 27:13-14
Galatians 6:9
What shows that God’s way is perfect?
Psalm 23:4
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy stuff they comfort me.,
According to the verse above God’s way is perfect because He is able to guide and protect us through the valley of the shadow of death. “Valley of the shadow of death. “Valley of the shadow of death “represents adversity, great trouble and suffering God can and will lead us through every and any kind of trouble
The bible says in Psalm 46:1 that God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in the time of trouble.
Romans 8:28
And we know that all things works together for good to them that love God, to them that love God, to them who are called according to His purpose.
God is able to make the good and the bad events all work to our benefit or good.
Indeed, sometimes it may seem everything is lost and all hope is lost but God may only be preparing you for a greater victory or success.
It does not matter, what mess or trouble you find yourself in it may be a set up God is using to reveal Himself to you. His great love for mankind and His power and ability to do all things.
What Shows God’s Word is Flawless?
Joshua 1:8
This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate there in day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein for them thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
If obeying the word of God is able to cause you to prosper and give you good success then it is flawless or has no errors because it directs you on exactly what you have to do to make you succeed.
John 15:7
If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you
Another translation says
If you live in one and what I say lives in you, then ask for anything
you want, and it will be yours.
According to the verse above, if you want to receive whatever you need from God, then you must live by His flawless word which has been tried or tested in the furnace, purified seven times like silver over the years.
It is fully refined and without errors, that is what the word of God is.
God’s word can help you overcome any problem and resolve all issues.
How Does God Shield or Protect Us?
Psalm 91:7
A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand, but it shall not come nigh thee.
God protects or shields us by ensuring that no harm befalls us. According to verse above we may find ourselves very close to danger but God will keep as safe.
Even in trouble, He is a very present help. Blocking the fiery darts the evil one throws at us with the aim of destroying us.
Philippians 4:6-7
Becareful for nothing, but in everything let your requests be made known unto God.
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Worry and anxiety can cripple you and prevent you from taking the necessary actions to get you out of trouble.
Therefore, to protect and shields us God keeps our hearts and mind in peace when we pray and trust Him to see us through issues that may seen un surmountable, when we rely only on our own abilities as humans.
How can we show that we trust God?
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all thine hearts, and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct they path.
We show that we trust God or believe in God’s ability to save when we.
- Consult Him first though prayers when we encounter any issues or before we begin any project or assignment.
- Do not rely on our own wisdom and abilities even when we have encountered and overcome similar problems or undertaken similar projects.
Galatians 6:9
And let us not be weary And let us not be weary in well-doing for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
Another way we can show we trust God is by not giving up even in the midst of challenges and obstacles because we believe God will certainly make a way. And He will work out everything, the failures and successes in such a way that it will benefit us.
Meditate on the words of this song
God will make a way
Where there seems to
Be no way
He works in ways
We cannot see
He will make a way
For me
He will be my guide
Hold me closely to
His side
With love and strength
For each day
He will make a
Way
He will make a way
