LastCall: true perfection is in God's presence -Bob Coy

PERFECTION

As for God, His way is perfect? 2 Samuel 22:31 (NKJV)

"Perfect!" Ever say that? Of course you have. Maybe it was after you took a picture. The lighting, the pose, the scenery...it all beautifully blended together in a snapshot of time. You clicked and caught it. You formatted and framed it. And now it sits on your desk or hangs on your wall, a small sliver of this thing we call "perfection."


But as you know, perfection is something we can never truly capture. Even the perfect picture is subject to being torn or damaged. One sprinkler head goes off, and the picture is no longer perfect. That's the fall-out of living in an imperfect world. As long as we're trapped in this fallen environment, true perfection will always be fleeting.


Now think about this: All that God is and all that God does is perfect. Meditate on that for a moment. This thing called perfection that we persistently pursue and never quite capture is found in God and what He does. He never is or does anything less.
 

For a few years, the world was witness to this perfection in the life of Jesus. As He walked this earth, humanity had the opportunity to see the Perfect Man do perfect things and eventually offer Himself as the perfect sacrifice. Everything about Jesus reflected the perfection of God that we instinctively appreciate and strive for.


The only place we'll find true perfection is in God's presence. He alone will ensure we're progressively perfected until the day we finally see Him face to face.


When that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away...For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face (1 Corinthians 13:10-12 NKJV).

What does this passage reveal to me about God?

What does this passage reveal to me about myself?

Based on this, what changes do I need to make?

What is my prayer for today?
