Daily Bible Verse: Psalm 12:6
‘The words of the LORD are pure words; as silver tried in a furnace on the earth.’
- When God speaks, we can know that His words are sure and guaranteed.
- His words are pure, tested by fire, and words on which we can totally depend.
- Human words are frail, vain and proceed out of hearts contaminated by sin.
- His words are like pure silver, beautiful, enriching and unpolluted.
Prayer: Lord, thank You that every word that proceeds out of Your mouth is pure and tested, and therefore absolutely reliable, and totally trustworthy, despite how circumstances may appear. Amen.

We must stop limiting God and return to a pace of faith in God.
