From the beginning of time, people have worshiped Jehovah God, but there will never be a time when all people will choose to walk in his ways. Adam and Eve’s unbelieving son killed his brother, who had been faithful. Some of King David’s sons worshiped God and others did not. Judas betrayed Jesus, God’s one and only Son. God is perfect and his word proves true. Those who don’t understand or disagree with that fact will always be proven wrong.

God’s way is perfect, but not everyone believes that. God provided his word so that everyone would always know how to live eternally in heaven. Thousands of years later, the word of the Lord has remained true. C. S. Lewis was a brilliant thinker who set out to disprove Scripture and the existence of God. Instead, C. S. Lewis met the Lord in his word and became a brilliant theologian after understanding the Bible was true.

God is a shield of protection to anyone who will trust him with their lives. He cannot be a shield to those who refuse his protection. He created us with free will so we could be made in his image. Our choice is to trust his word and his character or trust something less. But why would we?

God is perfect and so are his ways. God’s word has been proven true in every generation. And God’s promises have been fulfilled and are still being fulfilled today. We all have a choice to make. We can make God’s way our shield and find refuge in him or we can place our trust in something less. 

God is perfectly able, perfectly true, and eternally proven. We can trust him to be our shield and our safe place of refuge. “Choose this day whom you will serve. . . . But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord” (Joshua 24:15). Joshua trusted Jehovah God to do great things. So can you. 

To know God is the beginning of wisdom. Know God’s ways have always been perfect.
