Our Scripture reading today is Psalm 12:6-7.
Verse 6, "The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times."
It is quite possibly the most precious physical gift we could ever be given. When someone gives you a Bible, they are giving you the pure and precious Word of God. I realize the Bible is spiritual too. It provides everything we need in order to live a Christian life that brings honour and glory to God. The Word of God guides along dark paths when we do not know what to do. It is a sword that delivers us from the attacks of our enemy. God's Word takes a sinner and turns him or her into a saint. Our faith still comes by hearing and our hearing comes by the Word of God!
“The words of Jehovah are holy in his precepts, just in his laws, gracious in his promises, significant in his institutions, true in his narrations, and infallible in his predictions. What are thousands of gold and silver compared to the treasures of the sacred page!” (Horne)
