People lie. Advertisements stretch the truth. The internet is full of stuff that isn’t real. Proverbs 30 says there’s one thing you can always trust: God’s Word.

God’s Word Is Flawless

Proverbs 30:5 Every word of God is flawless; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.

Everything God says is true. He never lies or makes mistakes. And his truth works like a shield, protecting us from lies that can hurt us.

Truth Lights the Way

Psalm 119:105 Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.

When you know what the Bible says, it’s easier to spot lies and make good choices. It’s like having a flashlight on a dark path.

Get to Know the Truth

John 17:17 Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.

Dads, one of the best things we can do is read God’s Word with our sons, just like we’re doing now.

The Takeaway

God’s Word is always true, and it protects you like a shield. The more you know it, the better you’ll see through the world’s lies.
