The Gift of God's Flawless Word

Psalm 12:6 “And the words of the LORD are flawless, like silver refined in a furnace of clay, purified seven times.”

[Praise you, Lord God, the King of Glory, the Creator of only good, for you are Truth itself. Therefore, your words are flawless and pure as newly opened flowers, for you cannot lie. You have revealed your words to your prophets, had them write them down and preserved them through the ages, bringing them to us as a bright light in deep darkness.

Your words are rich and beautiful, powerful and penetrating. By them we are guided, chided, helped and shielded. Thank you that they are alive and life giving.

I praise you that your words are wise, principles and guides more often than direct commands, for then they can be applied in different cultures. Like” honor your mother and father,” done differently in India, Saudi Arabia, Korea and American. But the same principle.

With your words you protect us, guide, teach, correct, rebuke, comfort and encourage us. As you are flawless, so are your words. Therefore, they are worthy of trust, of praise, and honor through obedience. And you are worthy of our obedience.
