Whatsoever is PURE
The Lord’s promises are pure, like silver refined in a furnace, purified seven times over. Psalm 12:6
When you hear the word pure, what comes to mind? As an adjective, pure describes something that’s made of only one substance and is not mixed with anything else. It is anything that’s uncontaminated by extra, unnecessary, or unclean substances.
When silver is purified, it is heated at high temperatures to remove any impurities. The more times it is refined, the purer the silver becomes. The Lord’s promises are compared to silver refined seven times. Illustrating that whatever God has promised, it is of the highest quality, there are no imperfections in Him or His word.
The psalmist tells us the Lord’s promises are pure. This means His promises:
~Come from only one place – God.
~Are not mixed with the promises of anyone else – only from God.
~Are not corrupt from irrelevant and unclean matters. They are holy – because God is holy.
Unlike man, who may promise something today and break it tomorrow, God is trustworthy. He will do what He says and always with our best interest at heart. His intentions for us are pure.
Prayer: Lord thank You for being a promise-keeping God.
