Email from Abiding Place Daily Bread – November 2, 2024 (The Seventh Day – Genesis 2:1-3) Psalms 138:2 – I will worship toward Your holy temple, and I will praise Your Name for Your covenant love and for Your truth, because You have magnified Your Word above all Your Name. If God has so magnified His Word that it takes superiority over His Name, how much higher then should we place His Word above all we believe, perceive, or think. If God has declared His Word to be settled in Heaven, should we not agree with Him and recognize it to be that much more settled in Earth, and in our hearts (Psalms 119:89, 152)? All we need to do is be obedient to His Word and not waiver at His promises. If we are going to recognize how God is eternal and that He is a loving God, then we must equally recognize how He is faithful and true. The Word of the Lord, everything He has spoken, shall endure forever (Isaiah 40:8; 1 Peter 1:23,25; Psalm 105:8, 119:89, 160). Everything God has said, even down to the smallest detail, shall be fulfilled. Heaven and Earth shall pass away, but not one single word of God shall ever cease to exist (Matthew 24:35). It does not matter what we think or what we perceive, God’s Word is settled. It is not good enough for us to have faith that God did all the things He promised in the past, and that He will do all the things He has promised in the future. Faith must be personalized, and we must believe all of His Word will be fulfilled in us. Do not let the powers of darkness, nor persecution, disappointment, or selfish pride cause you to be unfruitful in the knowledge of the Lord, but having done all, stand – do not back down (Matthew 13:19-22; 2 Peter 1:8; Ephesians 6:13)! Rather, worship Him and give thanks that all of His promises are “yes and amen”, and that His love, His Word, His faithfulness, and His truth endure forever. Blessings, Pastor Mark Spitsbergen
