“He is the Rock, his works are perfect, and all his ways are just.
A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is he.”
2 Sam 22:31-33:
"As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless.
He is a shield for all who take refuge in him.
For who is God besides the LORD? And who is the Rock except our God?
It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect.”
A moment of worship was sparked
by a wonderful conversation with a retired medical doctor recently.
He shared what he had learned in his years of scientific research and medical
practice. He explained that any time we put man’s work under
a microscope, the inconsistencies and imperfections are highlighted with
increased magnification. What appears to be a sharp edge
on a knife reveals a jagged blade under magnification. A
perfectly ruled straightedge line, when put under the scope, becomes quite
unruly. Look at the veins on a leaf for a wonderful contrast.
Increased magnification shows increased perfection.
What a wonderful lesson. Man’s work at its best reveals imperfections.
God’s work, put under the most intense inspection, reveals amazing perfection
and mysterious detail.
What does God see when he cranks up the microscope on my heart?
Anything I’ve done by myself will reveal imperfections. BUT--- Christ
in me is the hope of glory! HIS work in me is perfect.
Father, may your eyes see more of Christ in me and less of me in me.
“To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. We proclaim him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ. To this end I labor, struggling with all his energy, which so powerfully works in me."
