When I was about seven years old and my brother, Phil, was
about five years old, and we were riding in the car with our parents. Suddenly, a police car passed us with lights
flashing and siren blaring. My little
brother remarked, “That policeman is going to murder someone.” My mother corrected him saying, “The policeman
may have to shoot someone, but he isn’t going to murder them.” Then, with my infinite wisdom, I spoke up and
said, “Don’t say what you don’t know what is.”
My dad opened his mouth to correct me but thought for a moment. Then he shrugged, closed his mouth, and
dropped what he was going to say. What I
had said made sense. Well, kind of. Hey, the words of little children may not
always be accurate. They speak from their
limited understanding. But the good Lord
always has the right things to say. In Psalm
12:6 we find, “The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a
furnace of earth, purified seven times.”
You can trust the words that God speaks.
They are true. Hey, why not read
some of His words right now. Why not
read them every day? Daily Bible reading
is a good habit to get into.
