GOD'S ENDURING WORD

 

GOD’S ENDURING WORD

Ps. 119:89-90 Forever, O Lord, your words stand firm in heaven. Your faithfulness extends to every generation, as enduring as the earth you created. NLT

All of creation as we know it will one day cease to be. God promises to create a new heaven and a new earth after He purges the world of sin. We look at the world we live on, the stars in the sky, and the planets scattered throughout the universe and we see what man has seen for centuries. We are lulled to sleep thinking nothing is ever going to change, but it will. We don't know what the future habitat for mankind will be like. We can only imagine some it as it is revealed in the Scriptures.

The only thing we know for certain about what will be is that God and His Word are eternal. What God has spoken in the past holds true for today and will be true forever. We cannot count on a whole lot in this life, but we can always count on God and His Word. God said exactly what He meant to say and He means every word of it. God's Word is binding because God is never changing. He is as He always has been and always will be.

We can apply the Word to our lives with confidence because we know it comes from God and is meant for us today. We know it has proven to be true in every generation and it is impossible for it to ever fail.

"Thank you, O Lord, for great is your faithfulness through all generations. Thank You for your Word which governs our lives and leads us safely home to your presence. Help us to always let it teach and guide us in your ways, O Lord. In Jesus' name. Amen."
