Bible Reading: Song of Solomon 4
“Thou art all fair, my love; there is no spot in thee” – Song of Solomon 4:7 (KJV).
God is all together good, nothing missing, nothing wanting. On the contrary, the devil is all together bad; there is nothing good in him. Remove the letter ‘d’ and you will be left with evil. His plans, and thoughts and actions are altogether evil. “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly” – John 10:10 (KJV). God’s thoughts, plans and actions towards us are all of good. “For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you an expected end” -Jeremiah 29:11 (KJV). Even when God allows us go through trials and life’s challenges, they are not meant to harm us but to help us become better. His commands are not grievous, they are meant to build godly characters and values.
Circumstances may make us indict God of none commitment and as being unfair. Satan attempts to discredit God and paint a picture of a God that does not care or love enough, a God that does not show up on time, as a God that takes pleasure in the pains of his people. But because we know and understand God and his loving heart and commitment, we believe in his love and see no spot in him even in the dark seasons of life. We may not always understand his dealings and his reasons for letting us go through the difficult and painful seasons of life but we are convinced that he means good for us. Though offences may come to make us feel bad about some things but in all, we can truly say that God is spotless. His love, plans and purpose for us are perfect.
There is no blemish in God. He is not the one that cause us pain, satan is. God is not the one that attacks us with sickness, he is our healer. He does not inflict us with poverty and hardship, he prospers us. God gives us richly all things to enjoy.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, make me spotless as you are, not only positionally, but experientially.
