Perfecting Our Concerns



 Psalms 138:8 The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me

Wow what an awesome assurance! That God will perfect whatever concerns me. Now obviously that does not pertain to going to the casino and risk losing your paycheck or if you are concerned about what you are going to drink at the casino or if the lady at the black jack table is interested in you while your wife and kids are at home. God is not looking to bring you satisfaction in those areas. He will allow you to do that on your own. It breaks His heart but He is not going to violate what you want to do. 

But what God will do, for that wife who believes, is perfect her concern for that husband who is in the casino losing his family’s money, cheating on her, and not spending time with his children. You see, as a child of God, we have the promise that God is going to perfect that which concerns me. There is a lot that cannot be explained by anyone concerning how God works out situations for His children but that is where faith and trust occurs. 

There are terrible things that happen in a world that is full of evil but the bible is very clear in Romans 8:28: And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God . There is a special peace that comes upon a person that trusts in the promises of God.  My family experienced the pain of losing someone prematurely which is very painful and continues to be painful until we trust God and His promises and believe that He is going to perfect that which concerns me.

Gods perfection can’t really be explained and we can’t assume how He will do it but He will! The ultimate perfection is eternity in heaven but I don’t think I will be concerned about anything in heaven. So I believe while we are alive here on earth God’s perfection lies in supernatural peace, joy, patience, and love in the midst of things that are concerning His children. God knows what is concerning you right now and He wants to perfect it for you. Give it to him, whatever it is and He will perfect it FOR YOU!

 Let God know you trust Him with your concerns and He will perfect it in a way that’s best for you.

Give Him your concerns
Gary
