Growing up I would hear preachers say, “God said, I believe it, that settles it”. They were saying this to affirm their faith in the Word of God, however, that saying isn’t quite true.
This is the truth – God said it, that settles it! Whether I believe it or not, God’s word will always be true and perfect. It has never failed, and it never will.
The world outlook is becoming increasingly dark. Calling good evil and evil good – it’s amazing! If someone doesn’t believe in God, He still is. If they don’t think the miracles of the Bible are true, they still are. If they don’t embrace the unconditional love of God, it still continues. Becoming hard-hearted, our world population is putting their love for self above the truths of God’s word.
We who are believers in Christ need to stand tall on God’s word!
“The Lord’s teachings are perfect. They give strength to his people. The Lord’s rules can be trusted. They help even the foolish become wise. The Lord’s laws are right. They make people happy. The Lord’s commands are good. They show people the right way to live. 9 Learning respect for the Lord is good. It will last forever. The Lord’s judgments are right. They are completely fair. 10 His teachings are worth more than pure gold. They are sweeter than the best honey dripping from the honeycomb. 11 His teachings warn his servants, and good things come to those who obey them. 12 People cannot see their own mistakes, so don’t let me commit secret sins. 13 Don’t let me do what I know is wrong. Don’t let sin control me. If you help me, I can be pure and free from sin. 14 May my words and thoughts please you. Lord, you are my Rock—the one who rescues me.” Psalm 19:7-14 CEV
Lord, you are my Rock!
We used to sing a song that’s been running through my head this morning. Part of the lyrics go like this:
“I go to the Rock for my salvation,
I go to the stone that the builders rejected,
I run to the mountain and the mountain stands by me;
When the Earth all around me is sinking sand,
On Christ, the Solid Rock, I stand,
When I need a shelter, when I need a friend, I go to the Rock.” by Dottie Rambo
Thank you Father that your Word is perfect and trustworthy! Thank You that Your Word has never failed. Thank You.
Now that settles it!
