EXPOSITION.
"_As for God, his way is perfect_." Far past all fault
and error are God's dealings with his people; all his actions are
resplendent with justice, truth, tenderness, mercy, and holiness.
Every way of God is complete in itself, and all his ways put
together are matchless in harmony and goodness. Is it not very
consolatory to believe that he who has begun to bless us will
perfect his work, for all his ways are "_perfect_?" Nor must the
divine "_word_" be without its song of praise. "_The word of the
Lord is tried_," like silver refined in the furnace. The
doctrines are glorious, the precepts are pure, the promises are
faithful, and the whole revelation is superlatively full of grace
and truth. David had tried it, thousands have tried it, we have
tried it, and it has never failed. It was meet that when way and
word had been extolled, the Lord himself should be magnified;
hence it is added, "_He is a buckler to all those that trust in
him_." No armour of proof or shield of brass so well secures the
warrior as the covenant God of Israel protects his warring
people. He himself is the buckler of trustful ones; what a
thought is this! What peace may every trusting soul enjoy!
HINTS TO PREACHERS.
