God's Word

The 119th Psalm is a marvelous Psalm, and the 89th verse says:  "For ever, O Lord, Thy Word is settled in heaven."  I read recently in a little devotional that "this is the central verse in the longest chapter in the longest book in the Bible."  It is surely one of the greatest verses verses in the Bible, for it tells me that the Word of God will exist forever!  This little verse assures us that it was eternally settled in the mind of God even before the world was created.

Let us look at some other verses in this wonderful Psalm that stress the eternal truth of God's words:
v. 144 -- "The righteousness of Thy testimonies is everlasting"
v. 152 -- "Concerning Thy testimonies, I have known of old that Thou hast founded them for ever."
v. 160 -- "Thy Word is true from the beginning: and every one of Thy righteous judgments endureth for ever."
In Isaiah 40:8, we read a glorious proclamation:  "The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the Word of our God shall stand for ever."
The apostle Peter says in I Peter 1:23 -- "Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the Word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever."
Jesus Christ Himself said in Matthew 5:18 -- "Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled."  And again in Matthew 24:35 -- "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My Words shall not pass away."

What a blessed comfort in these perilous times to know that the words of our Bible and its glorious promises are eternal and settled for ever in heaven!
