THE WORD OF OUR GOD SHALL STAND FOR EVER.

September 8

Isaiah 40:8

The grass withereth, the flower fadeth:

but the word of our God shall stand for ever.

The word of our God is like His nature, immutably the same.

He says, “My covenant will I not break, nor ALTER the thing that is gone out of my mouth.”

Believer, this is thy comfort; every promise is confirmed and shall be fulfilled.

But what hath He said?

He hath said, “Though your sans be a scarlet they shall be white as snow.

Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivereth him out of them ALL.

No weapon formed against thee shall prosper.

I will strengthen thee, I will help thee, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

No good thing will He withhold from them that walk up rightly.“

All that He saith, cometh surely to pass.

Not one jot or tittle can fail.

He never speaks hastily, insincerely, or unwisely.

He has drawn His plan, given His word, and every thing shall answer the end He hath in view.

Man may be disappointed, God cannot.

Man may change his mind, or break his word; but God cannot.

He abideth at faithful, He cannot deny Himself.

Trust, and be not afraid.

God’s word is firmer than a rock, and changeless as His nature.

The word of God shall still endure,

Faithful, immutable, and sure;

This solid rock shall never break,

Though earth should to her centre shake,

And while it stands we should not fear,

For all we need is promise there.

James Smith
