Excellence and Truth

[Pr 8:6-7]

Proverbs 8:6-7 Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things. [7] For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.

Excellent: Wisdom is speaking here. She uses the word nagid (naw-gheed’) translated “excellent” from the Hebrew and it means “a commander (as occupying the front), civil, military or religious; generally (abstractly, plural), honorable themes.”

Truth: ’emet (eh’-meth), from ^[H539] (‘aman); stability; figurative certainty, truth, trustworthiness – assured (-ly), establishment, faithful, right, sure, true (-ly, -th), verity.

Wisdom is like a general, top in rank, She shares the great truths of God. Wisdom only speaks truth. Lying is wicked and an abomination to the Lord.

My Confession:

I will yield to the Lord and His wisdom, and will only speak the truth.

God bless you my friend,
