God's Way is Perfect

Commentators explain that "God's way" refers to more than just His laws; it describes His entire method of dealing with His people. His actions, providence, and plan of salvation are flawless and perfectly consistent, even when circumstances seem confusing. As John Calvin notes, God faithfully sustains those He has taken under His protection, never failing or forsaking them.
