Proverbs 22:20-21

Proverbs 22:20-21 Have I not written to you excellent things Of counsels and knowledge, (21) That I may make you know the certainty of the words of truth,
That you may answer words of truth To those who send to you?

God has, in His Word, revealed His character and heart and wisdom and plans for man, so that we will know, beyond any shadow of a doubt, that His words are true. To know that His words are true will change us and conform our minds to His will.

Romans 12:2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

As God transforms our way of thinking into His way of thinking, we are made new and prove out, in a real and living way, what the will of God is and Who God is. Then, as He says in the Proverb (v21), we will be able to answer words of truth to those who ask us.

Lord please fill us with your word that we may be conformed to your image and ready and willing to share the love and joy and truth of Who you are to those You bring before us today.

1 Peter 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear;
