"Every word of God is flawless; He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him. Proverbs 30:5 (NIV) The King James Version of the Bible reads: "Every word of God is pure ; He is a shield unto them that put their trust in Him."
This is one of the sayings of King Solomon, the wisest man ever (2 Chronicles 1:10-12), "Every word of God is pure." The Word of God is true, it is free from error, there is no falsehood or corruption in it. (Psalms 12:6 and 119:140) Those who trust in Him will be protected by Him, and He will shield them from harm.
Today, we put our trust in a lot of worldly things, and we are frequently disappointed. There is, however, one thing we can trust and depend upon, we can trust in God. The Lord God is omnipotent, omniscient, and omni-present. He is the creator of heaven, and earth, and all things therein. (Genesis 1:1, Colossians 1:16, and Revelation 10:6) The Word of God is right and true. (Psalms 33:4) It is divinely inspired and error free. (2 Timothy 3:16) All of the scriptures in the written Word of God will be fulfilled (Matthew 5:18), and The Word of God shall live forever. (1 Peter 1:23) Therefore we can trust The Lord God and His Word. He said in His written Word that He will be a shield to those who put their trust in Him. (Genesis 15:1, Deuteronomy 33:29, 2 Samuel 22:3, Psalms 3:3, Psalms 28:7, Psalms 33:20, Psalms 91:4, Psalms 115:11, and Psalms 144:2) There is no better guarantee or promise than The Word of God. There is no safer protection than that which is provided by The Lord God. We all should only put our trust in The Lord. He will never leave us or forsake us. (Hebrews 13:5) Trust in The Lord.
