These are volatile times. You never know from one day to the next what's going to happen, weather conditions shift like they never seem to have done before in thousands of years, and there seems to be uproar and wars everywhere. Is there anything that is stable and firm? What is there to hold fast to that does not shift, change and turn?
The answer is GOD'S WORD. God never changes and His Word never changes. Psalm 119 is the longest Psalm in the Bible, and many people don't want to read it because it's too long. However, Psalm 119 contains the most profound truths about God's Word and God's faithfulness. Let's look at just a few verses,
"Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path" (v 105). Don't know where to turn? Follow God's Word, it will show you the path to take like a flashlight shows you the path in a dark forest.
"The entrance of Your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple" (v.130). Is it difficult to understand what's going on around you? God's Words give you light, they give you understanding. It has nothing to do with mental capacity, it has to do with HIM giving Himself to you through His Word.
"This is my comfort in my affliction, for Your word has given me life" (v.50). Are you afflicted? Are you afraid of the shifting tides and volatile situations around you? God is your comfort. Let His Word fill you, (meaning; read His Word daily), let Him speak to you through His Word, and life will come back to you. Fear, uneasiness and restlessness have to flee for God's Word.
This Holiday Season, let God's Word, the one who was born on Christmas Day, Jesus Christ, fill you with His peace.
Let God's Word fill you with faith and steadfastness, and you can look any circumstance in the eye with confidence and peace.
