"As for God, His way is perfect; The Word of The LORD is flawless. He is a shield for all who take refuge in Him. For who is God besides The LORD? And who is The Rock except our God? It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect." 2 Samuel 22:31-33 (NIV)
The unknown author of this book of the Bible states that God's way is perfect and The Word of The Lord is perfect. He also states that God protects all who believe and come to Him. Then the author asks two rhetorical questions before saying that God gives him strength and leads him in the right way. The "him" here could refer to the author, or to King David whom he was writing about.
God's way is perfect because He is perfect. Jesus, God The Son, and God The Father are one. (John 10:30 and 1 John 5:7) The way of God must be perfect because Jesus said "I am the way." (John 14:6) It is The Lord God who shows His believers the way, the right path to take, and it is He who prepares and strengthens us for what we will face during life's journey. Some times, as our refuge, He hides and shields us, in order to protect us. Some times He shares some of His power and strength with us, so that we can endure and conquer the challenges that we face. God does not make us perfect, He shows the right path to take and leads us in the perfect way. Jesus, The Christ, The Son of God, is the perfect way, and He gives us the choice whether to believe and follow Him or not.
