Eternal

Psalm 119:89 - "Your word, O LORD, is eternal; it stands firm in the heavens."

I can hardly fathom it. God's Word is eternal. It will never fade away. Just like our souls, God's Word is eternal. That means that God's living Word will exist forever in heaven with us. Tired of the Bible? That's too bad, because it isn't going anywhere.

The Bible is the best selling book of all time. It has been translated in more languages than any other book. It is described as being alive. It convicts the heart. It penetrates the soul. It is the very breath of God. Jesus Christ is the Word embodied (John 1). He's not literally the Bible, but He is the perfect embodiment of the Word.

God's Word is eternal. Think about that today. What does the eternity of the Word of God mean to you? What are the ramifications of God's Word being eternal? Why would the Bible need to be eternal when we will spend eternity with God Himself?

It boggles the mind. And, it places even greater value upon God's matchless Word.

Dear God,

It's all too easy to let our Bibles gather dust on the shelf. Help us not to let that happen. Help us to think deeply about what Your eternal Word means to us. Help us to treasure Your Word.

In Jesus' name,

Amen.
