Welcome to the Days of Praise podcast, a daily devotional by the Institute for Creation Research. Thy word is settled forever. Forever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven, Psalm 11989. This is the central verse in the longest chapter, in the longest book in the Bible, and it is surely one of the greatest verses in the Bible. It conveys the amazing news that the Word of God, which is the theme of the entire 119th Psalm, has existed from eternity past and will continue to exist forever in the future. It was eternally settled in the mind of God before the world was created, then gradually inscripturated at sundry times and endivers manners as God spoke in time past under the fathers by the prophets. Other verses in this Psalm likewise stress the eternal validity of God's words. The righteousness of your testimonies is everlasting. Concerning your testimonies, I have known a whole that you have founded them forever. Your word is true from the beginning, and every one of your righteous judgments endures forever. In the book of Isaiah appears a magnificent claim. The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God shall stand forever. This contrast is expanded by the Apostle Peter, being born again not of corruptible seed but of incorruptible by the word of God, which lives and abides forever. To guarantee this great truth beyond any further question, the Lord Jesus Christ himself made the following tremendous claim. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. The entire physical universe is literally passing away, heading in exirably downhill toward ultimate death with one exception. The words of our Bible and its glorious promises are eternal and immutable.
