Don't Add

5 

Every word of God proves true.
     He is a shield to all who come to him for protection.

6 

Do not add to his words,
     or he may rebuke you and expose you as a liar.

Agur praises God for His word, which offers protection to those who trust in Him. But we can only rely on God's word if we truly know what it says.

There’s a warning against altering God’s word. If we change it, God will see us as liars—and He despises lies. One common misquote today is, "God helps those who help themselves." In reality, Scripture teaches that God helps those who cannot help themselves.

Think about this: How well do you know God’s Word? We’ve almost finished studying Proverbs, but this is just one part of God’s revelation. There’s a parable from India about three blind men encountering an elephant for the first time. Each man feels a different part of the elephant—tusk, trunk, and leg—and describes the elephant based on their limited experience. Likewise, people sometimes base their view of God on a small portion of Scripture they’ve encountered. While God is certainly present in Proverbs, He is so much more than that.
