CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
God Is Perfect
Throughout time, the leaders of countries have promised their people great things. But they mess up. Every president of the United States runs on a campaign full of promises. What happens to all of those promises? Many are fulfilled but many are also broken. In all other countries, the same things occur. We search for a great leader, thinking of heroes like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, or Abraham Lincoln. But if we look back at history closely, even these great men had their failures. We look for heroes in this world, often times in sports figures or some person we see on television or read about that we think is awesome. Then we read of their transgressions, their sins, and we are hurt because we realize these figures are not the people we had hoped they would be. In our fallen and failing world, who do we look to?
Fortunately, as proclaimed in the first verse of Psalm 19, “the heavens declare the glory of God.” He is the one we can look to for absolute perfection. We humans mess things up, we pollute, we take from others, we falter. But God does not fail. That is good to know, good to count on when we think the world is just going to crumble.
Verses 7 through 9 of Psalm 19 speak of God’s perfection:
The law of the Lord is perfect,[c]
reviving the soul;
the testimony of the Lord is sure,
making wise the simple;
the precepts of the Lord are right,
rejoicing the heart;
the commandment of the Lord is pure,
enlightening the eyes;
the fear of the Lord is clean,
enduring forever;
the rules[d] of the Lord are true,
and righteous altogether.
God, help me see and have faith in your perfection, your truth, your purity, your righteousness when human failings and my own shortcomings lead me to doubt. Help me to trust in you. Amen.
