Psalm 138:8 “The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me."

If you are heavenly minded, then this promise is for YOU!

What divine confidence the Psalmist expresses here (notice he did not make his boost in himself). He did not say:

"I have enough grace to perfect that which concerns me
My resolution is so firm that nothing can move it
My faith is so steady it will not be shaken

No, his dependence was upon the Lord alone. You don’t perfect it; the strength of your Faith doesn’t perfect it – Gifts and Talents don’t perfect it; the Lord does it.

We are to rest upon nothing short of the Lord's work. It is the Lord who has begun the good work within you; it is He who has carried it on; and if He does not finish it, it never will be complete. He has done it all, must do it all, and will do it all. Our confidence must not be in what we have done, nor in what we have resolved to do, but entirely in what the Lord will do.

What a great confidence: The Lord will make you Perfect! HE will most assuredly, beyond a doubt, bring to perfection your Faith, your Love, and every Grace. He will perfect His Purpose. He will perfect your calling; He will perfect your future. “It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect.” [Psl. 18:32] He will perfect His Promises; He will perfect your Body and your Soul. There is only one who is perfect–so leave the job to Him. God will most assuredly perfect the work of his hands.

So what is your concern? Whatever it is, receive the Word of the Lord: “Trust that I, the Lord your God, will perfect all that concerns you; for I am committed to my covenant and I Will perform all that I have promised.” The Lord Will – not I hope He Will, or I trust He Will but HE WILL! He will in no wise fail you.

Examine the ground of your confidence, make sure it is divine!
