Psalms 119:89 - Gods Word is Eternal.
Psalms 119:89 (NIV) Your word, O LORD, is
eternal; it stands firm in the heavens.
INTRODUCTION
If you trust God's Word, you will have a
solid foundation in a world that offers you no
stability. The Word of God is settled; nothing can
change it or destroy it (v. 152; Matt. 24:35). God
is faithful and His Word can be trusted. The
same Word that created the world (v. 90) and runs
the world (v. 91) will also govern your life and
make it secure. [Chapter by Chapter Bible
Commentary by Warren Wiersbe re Psalm 119:89-96]
COMMENTARY PEARLS
The Bible Is True
As we survey the world scene with Bible
in hand, we know we do not worship an absentee
God. He is standing in the shadows of history,
still working to bring His plans to completion.
Therefore we are not disturbed by the
pictures of chaos, violence, bloodshed, and war that
fill our television screens and flood our
newspapers. We know these are the consequences of
humanity's evil and sin, caused by our rebellion
against God. Every headline, every news report
confirms what the prophet Jeremiah said centuries
ago: "The heart is deceitful above all things,
and desperately wicked; who can know it?" (Jer.
17:9).
But never forget: God will speak
history's final word. Every day the world moves closer
to the time when Christ will return, Satan will
be defeated, and God's perfect plan will be
fulfilled.
No matter how foreboding the future, the
Christian knows the end of the story - and it is
glorious! Don't lose heart. The best is yet to be!
Multiple news outlets and social media
cause us to be inundated with all the evils of the
world. Satan and would like us to feel as if the
world is out of control, but that isnt true.
God has not relinquish control of his creation.

Oldie But A Goodie
What would you rather have: a brand-new
bike or a rusty old one? A new one, right? But
sometimes new isn't better. Old things can be
valuable.
In 2010 a man went to a garage sale and
paid $5 for a child's sketch of a man's face on a
bright orange-and-yellow-checked background. It
turned out the sketch was drawn by a famous artist
when he was ten years old - and could be worth $2
Million! In 2012 a man in Ohio purchased a poster
advertising a Pablo Picasso art exhibit for $4.14.
Months later he sold it for $7,000 after he
discovered the poster was drawn by the artist himself.
Countless stories exist of people finding an old piece
of junk and learning it's a precious antique.
While new translations of the Bible come
out all the time, the oldest books of the Bible
were written 1,500 years before Jesus was born.
That's old. Advertisers love to bombard us with
messages about products being new and improved" or
having a "new advanced formula." But when it comes
to the Bible, you can't improve something
that's already perfect.
After Jesus died, a lot of stories
circulated about his life. Some followed the facts.
Others were made up. The early church studied the
writings about Jesus and only included the oldest and
most accurate ones in the Bible. About 400 years
after Jesus' birth, the twenty-seven-book New
Testament was first put together.
Today, some scholars like to grab
headlines by saying new books should be put in the
Bible. If its new, it's news, so they'll claim
anything to make a splash. They dig up stories that
make wild claims about Jesus. These scholars
often end up on TV and their opinions confuse
people or make them feel the Bible is incomplete.
When you hear outrageous stories about Jesus or
reports of new" gospels, you can be confident
that the traditional books in the Bible are the
ones God wanted. Your Bible tells the complete
story. It doesn't change. It doesn't fade. And it
won't go away.
The Bible is an oldie and a goodie. It's
valuable. And when it comes to old, rusty bikes, don't
dismiss them so soon. Some collectible ones are
worth thousands of dollars.

firm in the heavens" Psalm 119:89. [Case For
