The Proverb Challenge
Day 30
Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
Proverbs 30:5 KJV
A word is the smallest component of language that carries meaning. In God’s inspired Scriptures, every word is specially chosen for value. He has purified His inspired words very carefully – as silver purified seven times in a refining fire – until they are perfectly pure (Ps 12:6). And He will bless and protect any person that trusts Him and His words.
David expressed the sense of this proverb with these words: “As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him” (Ps 18:30). God’s way is perfect; He has examined and perfected His word; and He will protect those that trust Him. How do you trust God? You believe what He has written.
We shouldn't question God's Word. Satan has all aways try to de-value, dilute and watered-down God's Word for our lives. He (Satan) knows that throughout the Word, we are made whole and set free.
The purest trust in God is your trust of His words that affect your life (John 14:23-24; I John 2:3-5). It is easy to speak of trusting God as a fair Being, but the true test of your faith is your willingness to alter your life now and trust Him for eternal life to come. If you trust His words about this life and the next, He will be a protecting shield to you.
Are you attending a church where every pure word of God is preached (II Tim 4:1-4)? Or are the assemblies filled with entertainment and the sermons with fables and illustrations? It is your duty to find a church where every word of God is preached with confidence and conviction. For man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God (Luke 4:4).
MAIN POINT: What Shields us from the tactics of the enemy is our trust in God's Word.
