“Every word of God is flawless; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.” Proverbs 30:5.
One could take a long look at this scripture and ask for grace to fetch some truth out of it. This morning I ponder on the nature of God’s written word, received from above by divine inspiration and given to renown men of old, whose works inspire to this day. A read, re-read, and ‘re-re-read’ if there be any such manner of use of word, only point to the magnificence of the scriptures, better still the one who gave it. Truly the word of God is perfect. This translation uses ‘flawless’ which is also apt. Once you grasp the ability of God to speak in all dimensions, to address the mighty things, and then to dip low, then you marvel at the practicality and spirituality of His grace. In thinking of His perfection we see Him reveal Himself.
We pray for His grace to lead, we ask for His hand to guide. And we look forward to when in all His brightness we find peace, joy, calm, freedom, elegance without price, grace without fault, interconnected harmony, richness of lasting and ancient excellence, a rejoicing in what is known and His guiding hand, a worship full of thankfulness to the one who has redeemed our souls, and the one who leads the way. May He give us the crown His mercy has won us and lead us to everlasting peace with all that is beloved with us. Amen.
God bless.
Evangelist Israel Okunwaye
