Psalm 119:89 "For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven."
Some who read the Bible regularly are familiar with these sweeping statements from God's Word...
"So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it..." Isaiah 55:11
"For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled..." Matthew 5:18
"Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away..." Matthew 24:35
"But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this si the word which by the gospel is preached unto you..." 1 Peter 1:25
On this foundation, the psalmist made additional promises to his Lord in this stanza (Psalm 119:89-96). He noted the affliction that almost took his life..v.92...and the wicked who tried to destroy him...V.95...,common enough occurrences among the godly...
But in spite of the troubles in life, this godly man knew that the evidence abounds for God's faithfulness throughout the earth...v.90-91...
God's questions to Job---Job 38-41---centered on the evidence of His control and care for the universe...These prompted the psalmist to reiterate his commitment to a firm familiarity with God and His precepts and an effort, continually to seek Him...Psalm 119:93-94
God knew that the wickedness of this world would try and change His Word...
God knew that their would be some to re-write His Word...but forever, His Word is settled in Heaven and in Earth and in the Heart of those who serve Him...
And the godly man understandeth His precepts and accepts them for His learning...Praise God that there are those whose heart and mind is in ONE ACCORD and LIVING HOLY LIVES BEFORE HIM AND THESE WITNESSES!!!
MAY GOD RICHLY OPEN UP HIS WORD TO US ALL!!! AMEN!!!
