THE PERFECTING GOD

DAILY GRACE
THURS. 7TH JULY, 2016
TOPIC: THE PERFECTING GOD
TEXT: PS. 138:8

     Top of the day to you beloved.The beauty of God's perfection shall be evident upon your life in the name of Jesus Christ.
From the verse above, you will see the assurance we have that whatever good work God of all grace has begun in  our lives this year and for His people He will perform it.
 Firstly, when you pray that the Lord will perfect that which concerns you; this implies that which is most needful for you in life and perfecting God knows best what  it is  to made perfect.
You are careful and cumbered about many things that do not concern you, but He knows those things that really are of concern to you (Matt. 6:32) and He will order them for you as you trust Him more.
Secondly, that which you are most concerned about. Every good man is most concerned about his duty to God and his happiness in the God of all grace. That the former may be faithfully done and the latter effectually secured, and if indeed these are the things that your hearts are most upon, and concerning which you're most solicitous, then there is a good work that has begun in you, and He that has begun it will perfect it in Jesus' name.
 On what ground did the Psalmist builds his prayer and confidence upon?
"Thy mercy, O Lord! endures for ever."
This he had made very much the matter of his praise (Ps. 13:6), and therefore he could with great assurance, and made it the matter of his hope. For, if we give God the glory of His mercy, we may take to ourselves the comfort of it. Our hopes that we shall persevere must be found, not upon our own strength, for that will fail us, but upon the mercy of God, for that will NOT fail. It is well pleaded, “Lord, your mercy endures forever; let me be for ever a monument of it.”
What use did he make of his confidence in God?
 lt does not supersede but quickens prayer, he turns his expectation into a petition: “Forsake not, do not let go, the work of your own hands. Lord, I am the work of thy own hands, my soul is so, do not forsake me; my concerns are so, do not lay by your care of them.” Whatever good there is in us, it is the work of God’s own hands. The perfecting God works in us both to will and to do. It will fail if he forsakes it; but his glory, as Jehovah, a perfection God, is so much concerned in the progress of it to the end that we may in faith pray, “Lord, do not forsake it.” Whom he loves he loves to the end; and, as for perfecting God, His work is perfect.
Enjoy your day!

Personal confession:  Oh Lord,  I am the work of your own hands, do not forsake me by your mercy in Jesus' name.
