“And the words of the LORD are flawless, like silver refined in a furnace of clay, purified seven times.”
Psalm 12:6 (NIV)
“Every word of God is flawless; He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him.”
Proverbs 30:5 (NIV)
“As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless. He is a shield for all who take refuge in him.
2 Samuel 22:31 (NIV)
It’s wonderful when one verse pops out at you during your quiet time, isn’t it? I love when that happens. He is faithful to give us our portion, and sometimes our portion is just one rich and meaningful verse.
I was reading through a few Psalms the other morning and was jaw-dropped amazed at Psalm 12:6. “The words of the Lord are flawless….”! It still takes my breath away. His words are flawless. Perfect. Perfectly trustworthy. Perfectly dependable. Perfectly true. Completely flawless.
I did a little search on the word “flawless” at http://www.blueletterbible.com/ and found the scriptures above. “Every word of God is flawless…” (Proverbs 30:5 NIV) My heart was satisfied, full and comforted reading about His flawless Word.
Still savoring the portion He gave from Psalm 12:6. What verse(s) are you savoring today?
Thou art my portion, O LORD:
I have said that I would keep thy words.
Psalm 119:57 (KJV)
Sending you a hug today. You make me smile with your blog. Just smiling with you about our wonderful flawless perfect God. YAY!
Sharon,
You are so gifted with words. The beauty of your heart pours forth on the pages of your blog. Every visit to your blog inspires me to go deeper with my God. I cannot wait to sit with these verses. How many times I have read these and that word “flawless” has never shone forth as it has today. Thank you!!
With gratitude,
Wendy
I love this! I agree with Wendy in that you make me want to delve deeper into God’s Word….what a blessing you are!!
Love you!
Susan
BTW, I am so loving the Sarah Young devotional that you recommended! Thank you!
I am going to agree with Wendy here…the Lord has given you a gift in your ability to break down scripture into bite sized components that make such sense for our lives. It is funny, I am concentrating on scripture right now that aids me in understanding my own “flawed” self and this post just reiterates my need for Him and his flawlessness. Spun silver…isn’t that the most beautiful imagery?
Blessings to you on this sweet Sunday.
Love,
Heather
Sharon,
Thank you for your encouraging words today about the SheSpeaks conference. I know God will lead me to what He wants me to do, my new prayer is that I will obey even if it means stepping on a plane all by myself!!
And I too agree – thanks for the reminder of His flawlessness! Amazing!!
Blessings,
Jill
