Trying to be Perfect.

Psalm 18:30-32
30 As for God, his way is perfect:
The LORD’s word is flawless;
he shields all who take refuge in him.
31 For who is God besides the LORD?
And who is the Rock except our God?
32 It is God who arms me with strength
and keeps my way secure.

No pressure right? I mean it can't be that hard to be perfect. Right... It's not even possible for us to be perfect. If I could make a list on Microsoft Word right now of all the times I fall short, then I'd have to change the font size to 1, make the letter spacing 0.5 points, and set the margins to .01. Quite frankly, that still wouldn't provide me with sufficient space to cover all my mistakes not to mention, all the red lines that would come up underneath some of the mispelled words. I would be making mistakes as I tell you my mistakes.

That's okay though. Don't waste your breath, or in this case, your time typing, to illustrate your imperfections. Sometimes we forget that God doesn't forget we're not perfect (read that again if you have to). He doesn't expect us to be perfect. He created us, so he must know! That doesn't mean we can't try. "Consider right and wrong choices," he tells us. Above all, learn from your mistakes and grow from them so you don't have any repeats!

God just wants the best for YOU. He wants us to be close to perfect. God is the only perfect one I've ever come to know, so get to know him even more. Don't forget about your daily reading from the Bible, you prayers, and your praise. I like to say practice makes almost perfect. Practice reading and such now, so that you can get to know the Lord and apply (almost perfectly) everything you learn from your Bible studies.
