"SHARING GRACE THROUGH SCRIPTURE ABOUT GOD'S WORD AND GOD HIMSELF"

Proverbs 30:5 “Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him.”

Proverbs 30:6 “Do not add to His words, Lest He rebuke you, and you be found a liar.”

Taken from today's reading in "The One Year Bible”.

1. Each and every Word of God is pure.

Proverbs 30:5 “Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him.”

The Bible is God's Word.
Every part of it is God's Word.
And every word in the Bible is pure.
Or to put it another way, every word in God's Word proves to be true.
God's Word can be depended on from start to finish.

2. God Himself is a shield to those put their trust in Him.

Proverbs 30:5 “Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him.”

Here is another blessing about and from God.
Not only is everything He says true and dependable, but He is a shield.
God is a shield or will defend all who put their trust in Him,
He can be trusted because He is true and dependable.
How wonderful of God to protect us.

3. We are warned to leave God's Word as it is.

Proverbs 30:6 “Do not add to His words, Lest He rebuke you, and you be found a liar.”

Here God tells us what not to do.
We are not to add to His words.
In other we are to leave His Word as it is.
God's Word is complete, and does not need anything added to it.
All we need God has given us in His Word.

There is this warning here to those who might try to add to God's Word.
He may rebuke that person.
And that person will be found a liar.

This is a good warning to take heed to.
What God says does not need human additions.
Or that human will get themselves into trouble with God.

Some Questions:

3. Have you run across anyone who has tried to add to God's Word?

4. If you have found anyone like that will you please pray for them?
