God's Way Is Unerring

If we look back over our lives from our earliest memories to just this morning, it might help our confidence in God's way grow ever more solid and unwavering.  In Psalm 18 we read:
God's way is unerring,
the promise of the Lord is fire-tried;
he is a shield to all who take refuge in him. (Ps 18:30)
It's a long psalm,  but clearly comes from the heart of a man, most likely David, who looks back over his life and sees the hand of the Lord in every aspect of it. And true that is for us;  we have been as singled-out and protected as was David, even in our sinfulness.  What makes David special is that as grave and public as his sins were, he publicly asked for forgiveness and each time came closer to God.  As we review our lives, we will see a pattern:  God is ever teaching us, even as we stray; when we return with a contrite heart, he showers us with favors.  When we confess the same sins time after time, God remains faithful and gifts us as if we have made great progress in "amending our lives."  We see that decisions we have made or avoided were all part of his unerring plan. Psalm 18 can provide food for prayer for many days.  It's worth finding the time to pray over it and see how relevant it is to us.
