December 9, 2024 – Every Word Of God Is Pure

Every Word Of God Is Pure
December 9, 2024

DAILY PROVERB:

Proverbs 30:5-9
 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar. Two things have I required of thee; deny me them not before I die: Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me: Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.

 

OUTLOOK ON THE IN BOOK:

    There are thousands of books in publication today attempting to explain, rearrange, rewrite, define, deliberate, commentate, illiterate, simplify, justify, rationalize, demonstrate, reconstruct, redo, present, reword, clarify, disambiguate, illuminate, alter, illustrate, spell out, organize, fix up, paraphrase, amend, modify, revamp, condense, render, revise, restate, translate, summarize, and condense the Bible.

 

    Some authors have even written separate works, trying to lead people to believe that they are just as important as the Bible itself. A few audacious individuals have gone so far as to call their writings another gospel or another Bible. Some have rewritten the Bible so many times that they seem to have lost track of the source material.

 

    Does God truly require all this assistance? What if we devoted the time we spend reading these other books to reading the good old-fashioned King James Bible? With time and study, its meaning becomes clear. If we genuinely want to understand it, why not seek guidance from the author Himself? Can’t we simply call upon the Holy Spirit, who resides in every believer, and ask Him to illuminate its meaning in our hearts? Instead of attempting to alter God’s Word to fit our lifestyle, why not adhere to what it says?

 

    All we truly need to hear from God is a plain copy of the truth. I imagine that would take about one lifetime to read, study, and live out. I am not against books, but we must not lose sight of the Word of God as our foremost source. Remember, every word of the Bible is spoken from the very mouth of God.   

 

THE WORD WALKING IN ME:

     We must all return to the one true book, the Holy Word of God. We need to simply pick up our Bibles and read. As our passage today says, “Every word of God is pure.”

 

What does it mean to you to know
that God’s Words are pure?

 

IF YOU ARE JOURNALING:

Ask yourself, what are MY THOUGHTS concerning this Passage, and todays Devotion?

 

Do I find within this reading a CHALLENGE for my life?

 

What are one or two things I WILL DO today or this week to accept that CHALLENGE?
