Psalm 119:89 says, “For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.” God’s word is forever and it is settled. It always has been and always will be true and nothing can change it.
God established the earth and all that is in it. They are sustained and held together according to God’s word. “90) Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth. 91) They continue this day according to thine ordinances: for all are thy servants.” (Psalm 119:90,91) God’s word is sufficient to hold together the earth and things that we can see.
God’s word is sufficient to hold me up and sustain me. “92) Unless thy law had been my delights, I should then have perished in mine affliction. 93) I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me.” (verses 92, 93) God’s word keeps the earth from falling apart, and it keeps me from perishing when hard times come. When I am ready to give up, it revives me and gives me strength to continue on.
Though surrounded by the wicked who want to destroy me, I can cry to God to keep me. “94) I am thine, save me; for I have sought thy precepts. 95) The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: but I will consider thy testimonies.” (verses 94 & 95) My hope is in the word of God and His promise to hear my prayer.
“I have seen an end of all perfection: but thy commandment is exceeding broad.” (verse 96) Even if it seems like there is not one good thing left in society, God’s word is constant and never loses its effectiveness. Thank You, God, for Your eternal, settled and powerful word. Help me to love it and keep it so I can see its power displayed in my life and all around me. Help me rest in it, knowing that You will quicken me and will keep Your word.
