Spiritual Growth: Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him

The Book of Proverbs ends with the sentences of Agur and Lemuel. About the word of God, the wisdom from above, Agur explains: "Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him", Proverbs 30:5.
The book of proverbs is explaining to us that the Word of God is pure, that is, the word seeks the instruction of the reader, and prevents those who seek the teaching from falling into error. Knowing how to make the correct decisions at the correct time with the correct means is essential to achieve true beatitude, but for this, we need instruction and science, and not just the simple intelligence, the word enlightens us in the difficult decisions of life: "Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path", Psalm 119:105.
Big misfortunes when they happen are usually the consequence of little mistakes that go unnoticed in people's lives: "They sow the wind and reap the whirlwind.", Hosea 8:7.
The word of God is pure because it has no second intentions and it is also edifying, progressive, benevolent: "The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day", Proverbs 4:18.

The word of God is protection, it is a spiritual shield for those who trust in it: "Wisdom is a shelter as money is a shelter, but the advantage of knowledge is this: Wisdom preserves those who have it", Ecclesiastes 7:12; and also: "Wisdom is better than weapons of war", Ecclesiastes 9:18.
God's word seeks peace and avoids unnecessary conflict: "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God", Matthew 5:9. We live in a world full of half-truths, concealments, and small private wars and the word of God serves to develop self-control, patience, and not fall into provocations. From the word of God comes good love, the love of God.
