The Word
Of Our God
Will Stand Forever
A voice says, “Cry out!” And I said,
“What shall I cry?” All people are grass, their
constancy is like the flower of the field. The grass withers, the flower fades,
when the breath of the LORD blows upon it; surely the people are grass. The
grass withers, the flower fades; but the word of our God will stand forever.
Centuries ago, Julius Caesar set fire
to his ships in the Alexandrian harbor to prevent them from falling into enemy
hands. The fire spread to the docks, and soon the naval arsenal, was in flames.
The arsenal was the location for the knowledge of the world. The library had
something like 400,000 precious scrolls. All destroyed. But the Word of God has
survived, book-burnings, riots, revolutions,
persecutions, and catastrophes. Scholars have told us that
the manuscripts have been accurately preserved through millennia of copying.
God inspired the writing of Scripture
and has promised to preserve it through the centuries. Next time you open your
Bible, take a moment to reflect on how precious it is, and thank God for
keeping it safe for you.
