Proverbs 30:5-6
“5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that
put their trust in him.
6 Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and
thou be found a liar.”
Notice God said “Every word of God is pure:”. Not just the
ones we like. But “EVERY WORD OF GOD”!!! So why does man seek so diligently to
change God's Word to fit his own thoughts and his own ways? The answer is SIN!
Man is so depraved and so self-centered he thinks he knows better than his own
Creator.
The words of a godly man can be a help at times in our
studies but the words of a foolish, self-righteous man aren't worth the paper
they are written on. If a man's writings do not glorify God and do not go along
with what God has said in His Word then we are wasting precious time reading
such.
Remember, Jesus and His Apostles and other men in the New
Testament quoted and preached and expounded from the Old Testament. But they
never strayed from the true meaning of God's Word.
As our text says: “Every word of God is pure”. Verse 6 tells
us there are grave consequences if we don't. Do we heed the warning or do we go
our own way? Remember, Jesus said “If you love me follow my commandments.”
Follow Christ. Even when it is not popular. Even if it means
loosing friends. Fore we have a friend who is closer than a brother in our Lord
and Savior, Jesus Christ!!!
Praise ye the Lord!!!
