Today’s Reading: 2kings 13-15, Luke 15-16, Proverbs 30
Today’s Passage: Proverbs 30:5 – Every word of God is pure: He is a shield unto them that put their trust in Him.
Good morning. One of the first hymns that I memorized was called Standing On The Promises. We can stand on the promises of God because every one of His Words are pure. We can trust in His word. That is why that colon is there. The statement after the colon explains the statement before the colon. We can believe God: put our trust in His words because they are pure words. He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him.
What happens when you stop trusting? Think about it. Isn’t that when things start going wrong in your life? Isn’t that when the problems come? Most of the time we cause our own problems. Problems that God allows are for chastisement, to get our attention, or tho show us His glory and power. When we trust in His pure words, God becomes our shield: He protects us.
Are you trusting the Lord for your salvation? Jesus said, “All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.” (John 6:37-40).
We can trust God for our salvation, His pure words tell us so. How about your finances. “Oh no. He’s going to talk about tithing. I can’t afford to tithe in this economy. Gas is almost up to $4.00 per gallon!”
You can’t afford NOT to tithe in this economy. Paul bore witness of God supplying his needs, and our needs. Doesn’t Philippians 4:19 say: “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”? Are you trusting God’s pure words? Is He your shield? Have you read Malachi 3:8-11 lately?
“Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation. Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the Lord of hosts.”
Have you noticed the little things eating away at your paycheck? God will rebuke the devourer if you trust His pure words.
Just look at our country. We have robbed God. Not of riches, but of glory. This is a Christian nation. Our nation was built on the Word of God: pure words. And yet our leaders say this is not a Christian nation. They are steeling glory from God. Unfortunately we have to live here too. We get hit with the $4.00 per gallon of gas also. But you know what? “Every word of God is pure: He is a shield unto them that put their trust in Him.”
Peace. (Luke 1:67-79)
