| “Your word, Lord, is eternal…” |
| —Psalm 119:89a |
In our ever-changing culture, most of us would like to find something in which we could put our trust—something we could hold on to that doesn’t change. We’re looking for something “immutable.”
“Immutable”—that’s a word not often used in normal conversation. It means “unchanging over time.” When something is immutable, it has an inherent stability.
In a time when almost everything seems to change, finding something immutable provides an anchor to hold our “ship of life” firmly at rest and able to weather whatever storm may blow against that “ship” and disrupt the flow of our lives. The Psalmist celebrates such an immutable anchor point in Psalm 119:89-90:
Your word, Lord, is eternal; it stands firm in the heavens. Your faithfulness continues through all generations; you established the earth, and it endures.
This day, let us turn our minds and hearts to God’s written Word and find within the pages of the Bible everlasting security in the immutable truth given to us by God through His Holy Spirit, who led those individual servants of God to write down what God told them to write. And, let’s bask in the immutability of God’s unfailing and undying love, as shown to us in His precious written Word.
