Day 185 Bible Readings for July 6 - Proverbs 30:5-6 (NLT)

Proverbs 28-31, Psalm 30

Proverbs 30:5-6 (NLT)

“Every word of God proves true. He is a shield to all who come to him for protection. Do not add to his words, or he may rebuke you and expose you as a liar.”

In Proverbs 30:5-6, Solomon reminds believers of the purity and truth of the Lord’s words. Father-God’s words are complete and perfect. Adding to His words can lead to false teaching and a distortion of the truth. Believers can see the fulfillment of the Lord’s promises throughout the Bible and in their own lives.

When I became born again, I made a commitment to rely on the Lord’s Word as the ultimate authority in my life. I have also come to trust His Word as my shield, placing my confidence in Him rather than in my own wisdom or strength.

The Bible teaches that the Lord is actively involved in guiding and correcting His people, and I have seen evidence of that in my own life. The guidance of the Holy Spirit has repeatedly made my path easier, brought me peace, and helped me navigate life's challenges with greater confidence. Father-God’s Word is trustworthy, and I have learned to rely on it.

If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One whose words protect and guide us through life—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in prayer. Tell Him you trust Him and desire to walk with Him. He is faithful, and He will meet you exactly where 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. 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.
