majestic, and full of splendor: breathtaking! Here is what I saw of
him in Psalms 12:6,
"The words of the Lord are flawless, like silver refined in a furnace
of clay, purified seven times."
Purifying silver in a furnace of clay removes impurities resulting in
perfect silver, without any defect of an object it is made into.
Perfection, no flaw, pure, true and pristine in every sense. I have to
think that purifying silver seven times is overkill and would result
in a totally flawless batch of silver long before the seventh
purification was underway. David tells us God's word is just this
flawless. It has no impurities, it has no flaw.
Not every source of information we are exposed to these days is
flawless. We seem to be living in a day when whatever is published in
a newspaper or periodical needs to be read with a cautious eye. What
passes for news today on broadcast television and radio has to be
understood in terms of distortion, inaccuracy and error.
How wonderful and refreshing it is to have a source of information
that is as flawless as silver refined seven times! As God's word, the
Bible has inherent authority because it is authored by our Creator.
Because it is authored by One who is perfect in every sense, what it
has to say is always true, it is always without error, it is always
flawless!
"Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came
about by the prophet's own interpretation. For prophecy never had its
origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried
along by the Holy Spirit." 2 Peter 1:20-21.
How wonderful our Creator has communicated to us in terms that are
flawless, without error and just as true as he is!
Anything of the Lord capture your heart from Scripture today? Share
your thoughts of worship with us from your Bible reading today. We'd
love to hear from you!
