THE WITNESS OF GOD’S WORD
 
God’s Word is the witness of the living and true God. Without it, we cannot know who created us and where we are going after life on this earth. It tells us of the fall of man that resulted in the total depravity of mankind. It presents to us the grace of God through and in Jesus Christ, who is our Saviour and Lord. It unveils to us the glorious hope of eternity in God’s Kingdom in heaven. All these and much more are God’s testimonies of His good plan for His children.
 
Known of old: These are not new revelations out of modern-day visions and dreams. Adam and Eve knew this well even before the Scriptures were written. His Word was given clearly. Immediately after our first parents sinned, the LORD promised them the “seed of the woman.” Job, Abraham, and the other patriarchs were aware of the coming of the Messiah. God’s plan for mankind was revealed to every generation, although progressively. Read John 8:56.
 
Founded forever: The psalmist confidently says of his knowledge of God’s Word that it has been of old. He is the recipient of it because he is aware that it has been present since the time of Creation. God’s Word will stand strong forever and ever. Whatever storm may endeavour to take it away, there is no probability that it will take away even a jot or a tittle of the Word. God’s Word is set to last forever.
 
Thus, it is most trustworthy because of how it is established. No authority has taken it away from the hearts of God’s people. The LORD sets it according to His good pleasure and will. His holy witness through the Word is our life’s anchor in times of disaster. It is the rock that is our refuge in times of hardship. It is the comfort of lives that are heavily burdened by this world’s problems. Its design and purposes are eternally programmed and will never change or end.
 
Do you trust God’s Word? Is your trust based on the truth that it has been known and founded from of old? Never doubt God or His Word.
 
THOUGHT: Is God’s Word an eternal witness for me?
PRAYER: Father, remind me always of the eternality of Thy Word that I may not seek after the vain and temporality of man’s words.
