Your Faithfulness

Endures To All Generations

Forever, O Lord, Your word is settled in heaven.

Your faithfulness endures to all generations; You established the earth, and it abides.

They continue this day according to Your ordinances, for all are Your servants.

Unless Your law had been my delight, I would then have perished in my affliction.

I will never forget Your precepts, for by them You have given me life.

I am Yours, save me; for I have sought Your precepts.

The wicked wait for me to destroy me, but I will consider Your testimonies.

I have seen the consummation of all perfection, but Your commandment is exceedingly broad.

Psalm 119:89-96

Jesus made the statement: “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.”

Jesus made that statement to encourage His disciples when they asked Him about the “end of the age.” But His words also give also give us courage in the midst of our embattled situation today. Standing in the rubble of our shattered dreams, we can still find confidence in God’s indestructible character, sovereignty, and promises.

As we face devastating experiences, we can define them either in terms of despair or of hope. Because God will not abandon us to our circumstances, we can confidently choose hope. His enduring Word assures us of His unfailing love.

We can trust God’s unchanging Word.
