Firmly Fixed

Forever, O Lord, your word is firmly fixed in the heavens.  Psalm 119:89

          The Bible – start to finish – is God’s Word.  “All Scripture is breathed out by God…” 2 Timothy 3:16 Since the creation of the world in Genesis 1 – God’s Word, yet unwritten, was already true. 

          God’s Word is reliable – it says the same thing for every generation – The Word does not ebb and flow with world events, or each new generation.

          We can rest in the truth because it is unchanging – forever fixed in heaven. In a world where so much is rapidly changing, it is reassuring that God’s Word does not change and we can run to it day after day to find hope, peace, comfort and direction, an anchor for our souls. 

          Growing up… I heard the saying over and over, “there are only a few things in life that are certain” – “Death and taxes.” I’m not so sure about death because Enoch did not die (Heb 11:5) and those that are raptured will not experience death (regardless of WHEN on the calendar of world events you believe it will happen) 1 Thess 4:16-17.  Regarding taxes, even taxes are evaded by many dishonest and crooked people. 

          BUT THIS I know – one thing in life IS certain… GOD’S WORD IS FIRMLY FIXED IN THE HEAVENS. YOU CAN COUNT ON IT WITHOUT RESERVATION. 

          Immerse yourself in His steadfast Word and cling to the ANCHOR. Beyond a shadow of doubt, it will give you the most stability in life – without exception.
