“Heaven and earth will pass away, but God’s
words will by no means pass away” (Matthew 24:35).
IN ESPECIALLY TRYING TIMES , WE NEED TO LIVE MORE IN THE WORD. We must put our faith in the Word.
Then it wouldn’t matter if everybody in the whole world lost faith, or the whole world went haywire, or
the heavens and earth passed away. We will keep going for God as long as our faith is in the Word. No matter what happens, we will still stand if our feet are planted on the firm foundation of God’s Word. I can fail, you can fail, the whole world can fail, but God’s Word will never fail! Often if it weren’t for that tiny spark of faith, we would just flicker out.
But when we tank up on God’s Word, we get re-inspired. God blows on our little ember of faith and brings
it back to life again. It comes so much through taking in the Word. “Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God” (Romans 10:17). His Word is always an encouragement, even when everything seems to be going wrong.
The Bible stands though the hills may tumble,
It will firmly stand when the earth shall crumble;
I will plant my feet on its firm foundation,
For the Bible stands.
