He Made My Way Blameless
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.”
— Psalm 18:30
In the early verses of this Psalm, you might be forgiven for thinking David is a little too full of himself. He seems to be claiming a perfect version of himself, one we know for certain did not exist. By this time David has committed more than few significant sins. However, God has kept him. This Psalm isn’t written by David alone though, it was inspired by the Spirit, and like many of the Psalms, is written about another also.
“For who is God, but the Lord?And who is a rock, except our God?”
— Psalm 18:31
I encourage you to go and read this Psalm today and imagine putting on Jesus’ righteousness. How does it feel? Probably a little heavy if we’re honest with ourselves. Are we blameless? Have our feet not slipped?
Jesus is the only one who could say these things in his own strength, but like David, we’re called to do the same!
“the God who equipped me with strengthand made my way blameless.”
— Psalm 18:32
Let’s pray.
Praying through the Bible
Lord,
Your way alone is perfect;You are the way, the truth, and the life,Your word proves true, over and over,Again and again I find you faithful,
You have been my shield all these yearsa refuge, a stronghold, and the rock of my salvation.
You have equipped me with strength,You have made my way blameless.In my own strength I would have faltered beyond repair,but you have treated me, a sinner, without reproach.My sin and shame would have witnessed against me,but in the name of your Son, I have put on righteousness.
Thank you for your everlasting love,
Amen
