God’s Word Stands Forever
“The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field: The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass. The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.” (Isaiah 40:6-8)
Today’s Morsel: For centuries the Word of God has been an inspiration and strength for many. Many who were lost, confused, depressed, stressed, despondent, and saw life as having no meaning have found their way back with joy and purpose of life, all because of God’s Word. Yes, some have rejected the Bible, citing it as untruth, and as a crutch for the weak and feeble Christians to lean on. But as scripture says, it is the fool which says in their heart there is no God. (My wording, see Psalms 14:1). God’s Word, according to the apostle Paul, was written for our learning that we through patience and comfort of Scripture might have hope. The Word of God can change and turn any life around. The Word of God is not meant to hurt or destroy you, even though some may make it out to be that way. The Word of God is designed to build your character and give you understanding of how to live and enjoy life with abundance. As Jesus said, “Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.” (John 17:17)
Sing: I read an old, old story, how the Savior came from glory, how He gave His life on Calvary to save a wretch like me. I heard about His groaning, and His precious blood’s atoning. Then I repented of my sins and won the victory.
O’ victory in Jesus, my Savoir forever. He sought me, and He bought me with His redeeming blood. He loved me ere I knew Him, and all my love is due Him. He plunged me to victory, beneath the cleansing flood.
Thought For Today: “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.” (Matthew 24:35)
