Pure Words?
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who realize the Lord’s words are pure. In Jesus’ name, amen.
In ancient times, silver was considered so valuable that in Genesis 37:28 (ESV) we find the story of Joseph being sold by his brothers into slavery for an amount of silver.
“Then Midianite traders passed by. And they drew Joseph up and lifted him out of the pit, and sold him to the Ishmaelites for twenty shekels of silver. They took Joseph to Egypt.”
Refining silver involves heating it until it is molten and then removing the impurities.
Psalms 12:6 (ESV) compares God’s word to highly refined silver:
“The words of the Lord are pure words,
like silver refined in a furnace on the ground,
purified seven times.”
Let us never take for granted the value of the Lord’s pure words.
Joshua 1:8 (ESV) says to meditate on it day and night.
