EXPOSITORY
To be eternal means to last forever.
The God and His word will last forever. The grass you see today will be gone by tomorrow.
Your life (soul and spirit) will last for ever, so you are an eternal being, but your body (flesh) is not eternal for it will some day return to earth.
The Bible tells us that everything we can see will not last forever, it will all one day perish. Apostle Peter recorded that everything God created will one day be destroyed. by fire.
2 Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up. NKJV
The only things that are eternal are the WORD of God, your soul as Man, (hence people will live forever either with God or without Him) and God Himself.
People, plants and animals life here on earth wear out and die.
The grass fades, flowers wilt, stars burn out, pens run out of ink, cars break down, technology becomes outdated and even life on earth finishes.
This is the way it is in a fallen world: everything must decay and die (Isa. 40:6).
The verse 6 as one translation explains is: "human beings and their faithfulness... are short-lived and unreliable, in stark contrast to the decrees and promises of the eternal God and because God is eternal, His words and decrees are eternal" (2. Cor. 1:20).
The understanding of this is that whatever God has promised or said, get stamped with the Yes of Jesus.
Scripture tells us that one thing stands in sharp contrast to the transitory nature of this world: "the word of our God endures forever" (Isa. 40:8) and it is also very applicable to our lives.
In 1 Peter 1:23-25, the Apostle Peter connects the living and enduring Word of God to our imperishable salvation in Christ.
God's Word is not just eternal, as important as that is, it is also true and life-giving which reflects God's faithfulness, power and love (Ps. 119:89-90).
Our Lord Jesus made the same claim for His own words: "Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away" (Matt.24:35).
This is because they are eternal, and they will be fulfilled or proved true no matter what. We can trust God's word absolutely.
If you can only understand that the Lord's law is "perfect, refreshing the soul", His statutes are "trustworthy, making wise the simple", and that His precepts are "right, giving joy to the heart" (Ps. 19:7-8), then the one major desire will be to be enmeshed in His word.
So, seek the word for your life and live for ever with the eternal God.
Let the word of God be your delight.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, I look up to you for help to make your word my habitation and refuge in Jesus Christ Mighty Name. Amen.
IT'S JOY.
