INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
Whatever is good and perfect is a gift coming down to us from God our Father, who created all the lights in the heavens. He never changes or casts a shifting shadow.
Not fickle, it literally means “his orbit never changes”. Think about these scriptures:
Oh, that we might know the Lord!
Let us press on to know him.
He will respond to us as surely as the arrival of dawn
or the coming of rains in early spring.”
The faithful love of the Lord never ends!
His mercies never cease.
Great is his faithfulness;
his mercies begin afresh each morning.
THE ETERNAL WORD
THE ETERNAL WORD
But the word of the Lord remains forever.”
And that word is the Good News that was preached to you.
THE BREVITY OF LIFE
THE BREVITY OF LIFE
Look here, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we are going to a certain town and will stay there a year. We will do business there and make a profit.” How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog—it’s here a little while, then it’s gone. What you ought to say is, “If the Lord wants us to, we will live and do this or that.” Otherwise you are boasting about your own pretentious plans, and all such boasting is evil.
Remember, it is sin to know what you ought to do and then not do it.
THE ETERNAL NATURE OF TRUTH
THE ETERNAL NATURE OF TRUTH
“Before Abraham was, I am”
Facts change, Truth is
The very essence of your words is truth;
all your just regulations will stand forever.
Your eternal word, O Lord,
stands firm in heaven.
But the Lord’s plans stand firm forever;
his intentions can never be shaken.
I have known from my earliest days
that your laws will last forever.
The grass withers and the flowers fade,
but the word of our God stands forever.”
Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words will never disappear.
“Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock. Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house, it won’t collapse because it is built on bedrock. But anyone who hears my teaching and doesn’t obey it is foolish, like a person who builds a house on sand. When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house, it will collapse with a mighty crash.”
Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words will never disappear.
THE ETERNAL FAITHFULNESS OF GOD
THE ETERNAL FAITHFULNESS OF GOD
For his unfailing love for us is powerful;
the Lord’s faithfulness endures forever.
Praise the Lord!
