Key Verse: Verse 21 - “That I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee?”
Is there any doubt that Solomon has in mind God’s Word? It is certainly the words of truth.
Some time back there was a joke, “How do you know when a lawyer is lying? Easy…his lips are moving.” Now, we know that it isn’t that way with all lawyers any more than it’s that way with any other profession. But would you not agree that in today’s world we have started to wonder if anyone is telling the truth and nothing but the truth? Why, not even God’s Word is trusted anymore.
In a Barna research poll that was just completed recently, several troubling facts came to light about where the American public is intellectually and spiritually. The poll examined several different beliefs and found that, “most adults reject the notions of original sin, the existence of Satan, and salvation by God’s grace alone.” It also discovered that “Americans tend to think that the core documents of the world’s major faiths, such as the Bible, the Koran, and the Book of Mormon, are ‘different expressions of the same spiritual truth’ and that praying to the dead can reap personal benefits.” It goes on to say, “Americans are nearly as likely to say that Jesus Christ sinned as to believe that He lived a sinless life.”
Have we digressed that far? Probably so. But I’m so glad today to know that I can trust the certainty of the words of truth (God’s Word), aren’t you?

What to do:
✞ Don’t be detoured today by our liberal media, our liberal educational system, or the liberal politicians, and the many liberals who fill many of the pulpits in American today. God’s Word is truth and one day they’ll know that as well.
