settled in the heavens. 90. Your faithfulness endures to all generations; You have established the Earth, and it stands fast. 91. By Your appointment they stand this day; for all things are Your servants. 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 sought Your 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. Your life may be unsettled because of a situation or person. If that's the case, consider verse 89: "Forever, O Lord, Your word is settled in Heaven." 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 is trustworthy. 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. God's Word is eternal. People often go to used bookstores and find bestsellers from years ago being sold for 25 cents each. Not so with God's Word. Jesus said, "Heaven and Earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away." (Matthew 24:35) God's Word also is changeless. God is not a 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. I'm glad that when I open my Bible, I find that things are settled. God tells us how to stop 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 all settled. The Lord Jesus Christ died for us on the cross, rose again and will save all who will come to Him by faith. 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 and live by its truths. God has settled the questions of sin, death, salvation and eternal life. Do you need to settle these questions for yourself? Read and study His Word.
