September 8 Morning: "The word of our God shall stand for ever" - Isa 40:8

"MY WORDS SHALL NOT PASS AWAY." Even after heaven and earth have passed away, God's words remain unmoved, unchanged. 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 your comfort; every promise is confirmed and shall be fulfilled. But what has He said? He has said, "Though your sins be as scarlet they shall be as 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 uprightly." All that He says comes surely to pass. Not one jot or tittle can fail. He never spoke hastily, insincerely, or unwisely; He has drawn His plan, given His word, and everything shall fulfil the purpose He had in view. Man may be disappointed, God cannot. Man may change his mind, or break his word, but God cannot. He abides faithful, He cannot deny Himself. Trust, and be not afraid.

For Meditation:
The word of God shall still endure,
Faithful, immutable and sure:
This solid rock shall never break,
Though earth should to her bowels shake.
And while it stands we should not fear,
For all we need is promised there.
