Nehemiah 5-6, Revelation 18:1-18, Proverbs 30:1-10
Proverbs 30:5-6 (ESV)
“Every word of God proves true; he is a shield to those who
take refuge in him. Do not add to his words, lest he rebuke you and you be
found a liar.”
In Proverbs 30:5–6, Agur, the author of Proverbs 30, affirms
the value and sufficiency of the word of Father-God. He declares that the
Lord’s word is pure—without error and completely trustworthy. Agur describes
Father-God as a shield who protects those who believe in Him and take refuge in
Him. He emphasizes that God’s word is complete and warns believers not to add
to it or distort it, because it does not require improvement from us. Agur
reminds us that Father-God will correct and discipline anyone who alters His
word.
In recent years, it has become fashionable on social media
for commentators to question which texts belong in the biblical canon. However,
if a believer truly trusts that Father-God is sovereign over all things, then
they must also trust that the Bible, as it has been preserved, is exactly as
God intended. If it were not, the Lord would have intervened to change it. As
believers, we are called to read the Word daily so that we may understand it
for ourselves, while also praying for the Holy Spirit to guide us in
interpretation and discernment.
Reading Scripture daily allows believers to engage
personally with the Lord’s word. I have found that each year I gain new insight
into familiar verses, a sign that I am growing in understanding and spiritual
maturity. As I continue to learn and deepen my comprehension of Scripture, I
have become increasingly confident that the promises Father-God makes to His
children are true, faithful, and completely dependable.
Contentment grows when we steward the Word of God with trust and humility, resting in its sufficiency rather than searching for something more.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel compelled to
place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One whose promises are true and
dependable—this could be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in
the following prayer and express your trust in Him. Share your desire to walk
with Him and welcome His presence into your life. God is faithful and ready to
meet you wherever you are.
Heavenly Father, I give You my life. Please forgive me for all my sins and wash me clean through the blood of Jesus. I believe in my heart that You raised Jesus from the dead, and I confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord and Savior. Right now, I receive Your forgiveness and the gift of salvation. Thank You, Lord—I am saved, I am forgiven, I am clean, and I am made new in Jesus’ name. Amen.
If you prayed this prayer, welcome to the family of
Father-God! I encourage you to find and join a Holy Spirit–filled, full-Gospel,
Bible-based church where you can grow in your faith and experience the Lord’s
love, signs, wonders, and miracles in your life.
