a touch of truth…

One of my favorite lyrics comes from Jeremy Camp:  “You gave me truth that lies could never reach.”

Here’s one…

“Every word of God proves true…”

This clause in Prov. 30 hit me profoundly this morning.  It isn’t that I haven’t read this verse before.  I read it right near once a month.  But, I’m learning that Spirit pops things out when we’re going to need it.  I don’t know when in the next bit I’m going to need this truth, but it will be there for me.

To take this thought to the next level, here’s a glimpse into how I’ve been reading Proverbs lately…

I’m testing a hypothesis.  Test it with me:

–>  Every time you see the word “word” apply the John 1 principle and think Jesus (the Word).
–>  Every time you see the word “knowledge” substitute Jesus.
–>  Every time you see wisdom, substitute Holy Spirit.
–>  Every time you see “fear of the LORD” think Father.

With these substitutions see if the verse makes sense, perhaps even more sense…

In this vein of thinking, I take this clause from the verse in Proverbs this morning a step further and ponder it this way:

“Every [word=Word=Jesus] of God proves true…”

“All of Jesus who is God proves true…”

Work with it a bit and see how it goes…
