92. If Your law had not been my delight, I

should have perished in my affliction.93. I will never forget Your precepts; for by

them You have given me life.

94. I am Yours, save me; for I have soughtYour precepts.

95. The wicked lie in wait to destroy me; but

I consider Your testimonies.

96. I have seen a limit to all perfection, but

Your commandment is exceedingly broad.

Have you ever noticed that very little gets

settled in this world? Few things are

resolved politically. We sign treaties and

contracts, and then they're broken or

reinterpreted. Nothing seems final. Yourlife may be unsettled because of a situation

or person. If that's the case, consider verse

89: "Forever, O Lord, Your word is settledin Heaven."


5/9

My word--or anyone's, for that matter--is not settled. I've changed my opinions

and my beliefs on certain things. I hope

that when I give my word it istrustworthy. But God's Word is always

true. We can trust it. We don't have to

worry about Him lying to us. He can't.


6/9

God's Word is eternal. People often goto used bookstores and find bestsellers

from years ago being sold for 25 cents

each. Not so with God's Word. Jesussaid, "Heaven and Earth will pass away,

but My words will by no means pass

away."(Matthew 24:35)


7/9

God's Word also is changeless. God is nota diplomat who argues endlessly. Jesus

Christ is the same yesterday and today

and forever. (Hebrews 13:8) He simply

says, "This is the way it is going to be.

If you want to find out how He has settled

things, read His Word. He has provided

all we need to know for eternal life.


8/9

I'm glad that when I open my Bible, I find

that things are settled. God tells us how tostop wars, how to solve problems, how to

take care of sin. Best of all, He tells us

how we can go to heaven. That's allsettled. The Lord Jesus Christ died for us

on the cross, rose again and will save all

who will come to Him by faith.


9/9

The strength and stability of God's Word

stand out as a beacon in the instability and

unsettledness of life. Because it is true,

eternal and changeless, we may trust it andlive by its truths. God has settled the

questions of sin, death, salvation and eternal

life. Do you need to settle these questionsfor yourself? Read and study His Word.
