The Law of the Lord is

 Perfect!

"Every page of Scripture thunders with this truth: God is the hero of the story."

 Matt Chandler

What a week it has been! This past week I had the incredible privilege of teaching at an Equipping Pastor's Worldwide Conference in Kasama. What a wonderful time of fellowship and getting together in the Word of God it was! There is something so refreshing about gathering with fellow servants of Christ, opening the Scriptures together, and watching God speak through His Word.

As I taught and listened and fellowshipped with these precious pastors, I was again reminded of a truth that never gets old - the whole Bible from the Book of Genesis to the Book of Revelation breathes who Jesus is and what Jesus has done and is still doing for us. Every page, every chapter, every verse somehow points us to our Savior! As Jesus Himself said to those disciples on the Emmaus road:

"And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself." - Luke 24:27

Can you imagine that Bible study? Jesus Himself showing how every part of Scripture testifies of Him! From the promised seed in Genesis 3:15, to the sacrificial system pointing to the ultimate sacrifice, to the prophecies declaring His coming - it's all about Jesus!

I was also powerfully reminded that God does nothing just for the sake of doing something. He is a God of order and purpose in all that He does and allows to happen. Nothing is random with our sovereign Lord! Every detail of history, every circumstance of our lives, every challenge in ministry - He orchestrates it all according to His perfect will and for His glory.

We even see from the Scriptures that God uses the unbeliever to accomplish His purposes. Think of Pharaoh hardening his heart so that God's glory would be displayed in Egypt. Think of Cyrus being called God's anointed to restore Israel. Think of the Roman soldiers unknowingly fulfilling prophecy as they crucified our Lord. God's sovereignty extends over all things and all people!

This truth hit me afresh as I watched God work through this conference. Pastors who had traveled long distances, some facing real hardships in their ministries, all gathering to be equipped and encouraged. And God met us there! He used His perfect Word to strengthen hearts, clarify calling, and renew passion for the gospel.

Oh how good it is to be reminded that we serve a God who has everything under control! When ministry feels overwhelming, when the challenges seem too great, when we wonder if we're making any difference at all - we can rest in this truth: God is the hero of the story, and He will accomplish His purposes through His perfect Word and by His sovereign power.

Thank you Lord for Your perfect law that revives the soul! Thank you for conferences like this that remind us who You are and what You have done. Help us to continue proclaiming Your truth with boldness, knowing that Your Word never returns empty!

Here am I Lord, send me!
