“Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him.” – Prov. 30:5

Every word of God is pure.

“How often they provoked Him in the wilderness, And grieved Him in the desert! Yes, again and again they tempted God, And limited the Holy One of Israel: The day when He redeemed them from the enemy,” – Psa. 78: 40-21

They did not remember His power.

Do not provoke, grieve, tempt, or limit the Redeemer.

“But He, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, And did not destroy them.
Yes, many a time He turned His anger away,
And did not stir up all His wrath; For He remembered that they were but flesh, A breath that passes away and does not come again.” – Psa. 78:38-39

God is patient.

“Wealth gained hastily will dwindle, but whoever gathers little by little will increase it.” – Prov. 13:11

Literally, wealth by a breath; i.e.wealth obtained without work or by illegitimate and dishonest means, is not blessed by God.

There is a Greek maxim, Cito nata, cito pereunt: “Quickly won, quickly gone.”

The opposite is equally true.

“God reigns over the nations; God sits on His holy throne.” – Psa. 47:8

The LORD reigns.
