Introduction

Good morning, beloved family in Christ. It is a joy to gather with you today, in this sacred space, where the echoes of a thousand hymns have risen to heaven and where countless prayers have found their way to the throne of grace. We are here to seek God, to know Him more, and to find comfort in His promises.

We gather around His Word today, and we turn to the beautiful and comforting Psalm 138:8. The Psalmist declares with confidence, "The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O Lord, endureth forever: forsake not the works of thine own hands." This poignant verse, filled with the Psalmist's assurance in God's perfect plan, His enduring mercy, and His unending faithfulness, will be the focus of our time together today.

Perfection in God's Plan

The great preacher Charles Spurgeon once said, "God is too good to be unkind and He is too wise to be mistaken. And when we cannot trace His hand, we must trust His heart." How true this is, dear friends. Even when we cannot see or understand His ways, we can trust in His unfailing love and His perfect plan for us.

Our sermon today will revolve around three main points: the Perfection in God's Plan, the Promises of Psalm 138:8, and the Pursuit of Divine Completion. As we meditate on these truths, may our hearts be open to receive the wisdom and comfort that God's Word provides.

The first aspect of God's perfect plan that we need to understand is that it is a plan that is rooted in His character. It is a plan that is guided by His wisdom, shaped by His love, and guaranteed by His faithfulness.

Next, it is a plan that is personalized for each one of us. Just as God knows every star by name, He knows each one of us intimately. He knows our strengths and our weaknesses, our joys and our sorrows, our hopes and our fears. He knows what we need, even before we ask. His plan for us is designed with all this in mind.

Thirdly, it is a plan that is progressive. It is a plan that unfolds over time, in accordance with His perfect timing. We should not be discouraged when we do not see immediate results. Do not lose heart when we face trials and tribulations, but trust in God's timing, knowing that He is at work in our lives, perfecting that which concerns us.

The fourth and final aspect of God's perfect plan that we need to understand is that it is a plan that is purposeful. It is a plan that is designed to bring glory to God and to conform us to the image of His Son. It is a plan that involves not only our temporal well-being, but our eternal destiny.
