"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."   Psalm 18:30-33 (NIV)
 
Jesus is found through out the Old Testament, whether as 'the Angel of the Lord' [which means messenger] (Jud. 13:9-22)  , a 'Rock' that follows in the wilderness (1 Cor. 10:4), or the 'Word' that created all (John 1:3).  The Psalms as well proclaim His coming, along with the prophets.
 
The following Scriptures about Jesus came to my mind as I read this beautiful Psalm.  What an awesome God we serve.
 
-  Jesus is 'the 'Way', the truth and the life ...' (Jn. 14:6),
-  He is the 'flawless' Lamb of God (1 Peter 1:19)
-  In the beginning was the Word ... and the Word was God. ... All things came into being by Him... (Jn. 1:1,3)
-  come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest... (Matt. 11:28)
-  Jesus is the 'Rock' of our salvation (Eph. 2:20)
-  I can do all things through Him (Christ) who strengthens me (Phil. 4:13)
 
 
Yes, it is God who arms us with His strength and makes our way perfect; for His plans for us are perfect.  Thanks be to Him, let us praise His holy name, giving thanks to Him for His faithfulness and love endure forever and ever.  He is worthy of all honor and praise.   Amen!
 
Have a joyous day in our Lord!
