God Said It

“The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever.” - Isaiah 40:8 (NIV)
          After you have accepted that the Bible is God’s flawless, divinely inspired word to His people, you need to understand that it “endures forever”. By definition, this means it remains true for a period of time that has no end; eternity.
           Psalm 90:2 (NIV) “Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the whole world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.” 
          Like God Himself, His word will stand the test of time. Like God, it never changes. Man may read into it and draw out what he would like it to say, but the true meanings are only known through the Holy Spirit revealing them to the believer.             
Once you have accepted that, you can stand on His word as a guide for living. It deals with every circumstance and issue life brings a believer’s way. Scripture instructs, rebukes, challenges and reveals. We cannot grasp the depth of its’ wisdom for it represents the very wisdom of God. To understand His word, you have to know the author … intimately. 
            2 Corinthians 1:20 (NIV) “For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God.” 
          The best way to summarize all this is with a statement you may have learned many years ago: “God said it, I believe it, that settles it.” Amen? Amen! Until next time, walk with the King and be a blessing.
