Postscript

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

Postscript. Better known as “P.S.”, a postscript is used when someone wants to add information at the end of a letter or email.

These are often simple thoughts, a pointed summary of the content of what was written or an omission that the correspondence cultivated during its composition. The conveyance is important as the author is leaving the reader with something seen as significant.

Its placing is with meaning, weight, substance and is not included for anything but value. God’s Word contains all the necessities for living and fulfillment for each individual soul. It is without omission and full of life.

Every word of God is pure (Prov. 30:5): Hebrew: tsâraph, tsaw-raf’.

To fuse (metal), i.e., refine (literally or figuratively): — cast, (re-) fine(-er), founder, goldsmith, melt, pure, purge away, try.

Every word found in the Bible is refined. It is purged of anything not needful and then tried (tested).

These words are the best available information to navigate and provide continual insight for the art of living. Pure words that are necessary, absolutes and are not for discarding.

God did not add anything extra to fulfill a minimum word requirement for an English writing assignment. He positioned every word carefully to convey meaning, thus filling the heart of the receiver.

God’s Word. Not an “add on”, or runaway sentence, but the water in a dry land/day (Psalm 107:35), food for our soul (Psalm 107:20) when we cannot seem to go on.

It is the product of love that continually produces life, when living is the last thing we desire. It is intentional and a gifting, for all to receive.

God’s Word needs no supplementation but implementation. The broken world caused by mankind desires direction, although imagines this can be accomplished through its own logic.

Jesus is called the Word, and through Him, the world is reconciled by His death burial and resurrection. That’s refining. That’s testing. That is living now for eternity and is a Word worthy of not only reading but living.

But Jesus answered him, saying, it is written, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God” – Luke 4:4.

P.S. Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love (Jer. 31:3).
