"Every word of God proves true; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him. Do not add to his words, lest he rebuke you and you be found a liar."
— Proverbs 30:5–6 (ESV)

In a world filled with unreasonable opinions, noise, and ever-changing narratives, the Word of God remains the one voice that never shifts, never fails, and never lies. These two verses in Proverbs 30 remind us of the power, precision, and purity of Scripture.

The Proven Word

“Every word of God proves true.”
This is not poetic exaggeration. It's a divine guarantee. God's Word is tested, refined, and faithful across generations. In every situation—whether we're battling fear, walking through grief, or seeking wisdom—God’s promises remain unshaken.

The Hebrew phrase here implies something fire-tested, purified, and authenticated. You can stake your life on what He has spoken.

God’s Word isn’t just truth—it’s protection. It shields us from deception, despair, and destruction. When you take refuge in what He has said, you’re not just standing on ideas—you’re standing under divine covering.

When we pray at 3 AM, declare promises, or face warfare, we lean on what is proven. We are shielded by what is unchanging.

Don’t Add to It

Verse 6 is a strong caution: "Do not add to His words." In an age of spiritual distortion and motivational soundbites masked as revelation, this command is essential. God’s Word doesn’t need to be improved, adjusted, or rebranded. It just needs to be trusted and obeyed.

To add is to distort. To distort is to misrepresent God Himself.
