Isaiah
40:8 “Forever The grass withers and the flowers fall,
but
the word of our God stands forever.”

God is not fickle, like most human beings.
He doesn’t change His mind on a whim, or say, “I never said that!”
when the words are right in the Bible. God
is a stable, unchanging Father who only wants to bless His children and help us
to grow and prosper.
There is great power in His words. Don’t
believe this? Then read the book of
Genesis. God created the universe
and everything in it with words. The
plan of salvation started with words—prophets of the Old Testament spoke of an
upcoming Messiah who would restore the relationship between man and God.
The angel Gabriel spoke God’s words to the virgin Mary that she would
give birth to this Savior. Nine months later, she held this baby in her arms.
Nothing else in this earth is as incorruptible or as powerful as the word
of God! Never forget this! Read
your Bible, listen to good preaching, read books that feed your faith, and above
all treasure His word because it alone will last forever!
You will reap more benefits than you can imagine!
